Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
[Verse 2]
He's makin' a list
Checkin' it twice
Gonna find out
Who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
[Verse 3]
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!
[Verse 4]
Oh you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
[Verse 5]
With little tin horns
And little toy drums
Rooty-toot-toots
And rummy-tum-tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town
[Verse 6]
And curly-head dolls
That toddle and coo
Elephants' boats
And kitty cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town
[Verse 7]
The kids in Girl-and-Boy-land
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland town
All around the Christmas tree
[Verse 8]
Oh you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
