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 old Santa Claus
To see what I could see
He took me to his workshop
And told his plans to me

So, 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
And checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you sleeping
He knows when you're awake
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 telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

(instumental)

Little tin horns
Little toy drums
Rudy-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 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
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 telling you why...
