Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry,
You better not pout I'm telling you why:

Santa Claus is coming to town!

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!


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
You 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-tum

Santa Claus is coming to town!

With digital books, telescopes too
Cell phones that text your messages through

Santa Claus is coming to town!

Remote control pets, satellite routes
Wireless headsets and laptops to boot.

Santa Claus is coming to town!

The kids in Girl and Boy Land
Will have a jubilee
they're gonna build a toyland town
All around the Christmas tree.

Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why:

Santa Claus is coming to town!
