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 in his workshop
And told his plans to me
So you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's makin' a list and checkin' it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
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
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
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 toy land
All around the Christmas tree
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming, 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 tellin' you why
