Lyrics
Hey, I just came back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way
I stopped off at the North Pole to spend a holiday
I called on dear old Santa Claus
Just to see what I could see
And you know 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 coming to town
Do do do do do do
He's making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
Do do do do do do
He sees you when you're sleeping
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 coming to town
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is coming to town
And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is coming to town
Then kids in Girl and Boy land 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 coming to town
