Well, I just got back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way
I stopped off at the North Pole to spend a holiday
I called on dear ol' Santa Claus to see what I could see
He took me in his workshop and told his plans to me
So you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm a-tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He is makin' a list and checkin' it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleepin'
He knows when you're awake (he knows)
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 pout, I'm a-tellin' you why (tellin' you)
Santa Claus is coming to town
Little tin horns, little toy drums
Rooty toot-toot and rummy tum-tums
Santa Claus is coming to town
Little toy dolls that cuddle and coo
Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is coming to town
The kids in Girl and Boy Land
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland
All around, 'round the Christmas tree
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm a-tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming
(Santa Claus is coming)
Santa Claus is coming to town
(Santa's coming, watch out!)
So you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm a-tellin' you why
