(Haven Gillespie - Fred J. Coots)
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town.
He's a making a list, checking in twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' 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.
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
With a little tin horn and a little toy drums
A root a toot toot and a rum a tum tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town.
And curly head dolls that cuddle and coo
Elephants, boats and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town.
The kids and girls in toyland
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 comin' to town.
Santa Claus is comin' to town...
