I just came 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 big workshop And told his plans to me, so You better watch out You better not cry Better not pout, I'm tellin' you why Santa Claus is comin' to town He's making a list And checking it twice Gonna find out who's naughty and nice Santa Claus is comin' to town He sees you when you're sleepin' He knows when you're awake He knows if you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake
You better watch out You better not cry Better not pout, I'm tellin' you why Santa Claus is comin' to town With little tin horns and little toy drums Rooty-toot-toots and rummy-tum-tums Santa Claus is comin' to town And curly head dolls that toddle and coo Elephants, boats and kiddie cars too Santa Claus is comin' to town The kids in girl and boyland Will have a jubilee They're gonna build a Toyland town All around the Christmas tree, so You better watch out You better not cry Better not pout, I'm tellin' you why Santa Claus is comin' to town
