Santa Claus is Coming to Town Lyrics

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN
Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry,
Better not pout, 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 naughty or nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town!

He sees you when you're sleeping,
he knows when you're awake.
He knows when you've been bad or good,
so be good for goodness sake!

So, you better watch out, you better not cry,
Better not pout, I'm telling you why:
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 toy land town
all around the Christmas tree.

Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry,
Better not pout, I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town!
