I just came back from a lovely trip   Along the Milky Way   I stopped off at the North Pole   To spend a holiday      I called on dear old Santa Claus   To see what I could see   He took me to his big workshop   And told his plans to me, so      You better watch out   You better not cry   Better not pout, I'm tellin' you why   Santa Claus is comin' to town      He's making a list   And checking it twice   Gonna find out who's naughty and nice   Santa Claus is comin' to town      He sees you when you're sleepin'   He knows when you're awake,   He knows if you've been bad or good   So be good for goodness sake      You better watch out   You better not cry   Better not pout, I'm tellin' you why   Santa Claus is comin' to town      With little tin horns and little toy drums   Rooty-toot-toots and rummy-tum-tums   Santa Claus is comin' to town   And curly head dolls that toddle and coo   Elephants, boats and kiddie cars too   Santa Claus is comin' to town      The kids in girl and boyland   Will have a jubilee   They're gonna build a Toyland town   All around the Christmas tree, so      You better watch out   You better not cry   Better not pout, I'm tellin' you why   Santa Claus is comin' to town
