Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Jimmy, I just came back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way
I stopped off at the North Pole to spend the holiday
I called on old dear Santa Claus
To see what I could see
He took me to his workshop and told his plans to me
Now Santa is a busy man, he has no time to play
He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day
You better write your letter now
And mail it right away
Because he's getting ready his reindeers and his sleigh
[Verse 2]
You better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
[Verse 3]
He's making a list
He's checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
[Verse 4]
He sees when you are sleeping
He knows when you awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
[Verse 5]
Oh, you better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
[Verse 6]
Little tin horns
And little toy drums
Rooty toot-toots and rummy tum-tums
Curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephant boats and kitty claws too
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
[Verse 7]
The kids in girls and boy land
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toy-land
All around the Christmas tree
[Verse 8]
So you better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
[Verse 9]
Santa Claus is coming to town
