I just came back from a trip along the Milky Way   I stopped off at the North Pole to spend the holiday   I called on old dear Santa Claus to see what I could see   He took me to his workshop and told his plans to me      Now Santa is a busy man, he has no time to play   He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day   You better write your letter now and mail it right away   Because he's getting ready, his reindeers and his sleigh      You better watch out, you better not cry   You better not pout, I'm telling you why   Santa Claus is coming to town   Santa Claus is coming to town   Santa Claus is coming to town      He's making a list and checking it twice   He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice   Santa Claus is coming to town   Santa Claus is coming to town   Santa Claus is coming to town      He sees you when you're sleeping   He knows when you're awake   He knows if you've been bad or good   So be good for goodness sake      Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry   You better not pout, I'm telling you why   Santa Claus is coming to town   Santa Claus is coming to town   Santa Claus is coming to town      Little tin horns, little toy drums   Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums   Curly head dolls that coddle and coo   Elephants, boats and kiddie cars too   Santa Claus is coming to town   Santa Claus is coming to town   Santa Claus is coming to town      The kids in girl and boyland   Will have a jubilee   They're gonna build a toyland   All around the Christmas tree      So you better watch out, you better not cry   You better not pout, I'm telling you why   Santa Claus is coming to town   Santa Claus is coming to town   Santa Claus is coming to town      Santa Claus is coming to town   Santa Claus is coming to town   Santa Claus is coming to town
