You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not put I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list
And checking it twice
Gonna find out who's knotty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when your 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 put I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

With little tin horns
And little toy drums
Rutty toot toots and rummy tum tum
Santa Claus is coming to town

With curly head dogs
To cuttle and hug
Elephants, ropes and kitty card, too
Santa Claus is coming to town

The kids and girl and boy land
Will have a jubilee
There gonna fill the toy
Lad all around with Christmas trees

So, you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not put I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming to town
