Lyrics

I just came back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way

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 workshop

And told his plans to me, so

You better watch out, you better not cry

Better not pout, I'm telling 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 a wake

He knows if you've been bad or good

So be good for goodness sake

Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry

Better not pout, I'm telling 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

Then 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

Better not pout, I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Now Santa is a busy man, He has no time to play

He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day

You'd better write your letter now

And mail it right away

Because he's getting ready

His reindeer's and his sleigh, so

You better watch out, you better not cry

Better not pout, I'm telling 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'

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

Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee

They're gonna build a toy-land all around the Christmas tree

So! You better watch out, you better not cry

Better not pout, I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is comin' to town
