[Chorus]
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
Checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

[Pre-Chorus]
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

[Chorus]
Oh, you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
With the little tin horns and the little toy drums
Rooty-toot-toots and the rum-a-tum-tums
Santa Claus is coming to town
And the curly haired dolls that cuddle and coo
Elephants boats and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is coming to town
