Lyrics
Chorus
You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I’m telling 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
Oh! you better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
Music Box Chorus
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 Boy-land 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 telling you why
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
