Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm tellin' you why (Why?)
Santa Claus is comin' to town
[Verse 2]
He's makin' a list, checkin' it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or 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]
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm tellin' 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]
With curly head dolls that cuddle and coo
Elephants boats and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town
[Verse 7]
All the kids in girl and boy land
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toy land town
All around that Christmas tree
[Verse 8]
So you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
[Verse 9]
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 10]
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
[Verse 11]
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's comin' to town
