Because he's getting ready his reindeers and his sleigh
Santa Claus is coming to town
You better watch out, you better not cry
Santa Claus is coming to town
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
All around the Christmas tree
He sees you when you're sleeping
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
The kids in girl and boyland
I called on old dear Santa Claus to see what I could see
Santa Claus is coming to town
They're gonna build a toyland
You better write your letter now and mail it right away
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
So you better watch out, you better not cry
He knows when you're awake
Little tin horns, little toy drums
He took me to his workshop and told his plans to me
Curly head dolls that cuddle and coo
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
He knows if you've been bad or good
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
Will have a jubilee
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Now Santa is a busy man he has no time to play
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas Day
He's making a list and checkin' it twice
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
So be good for goodness sake
Elephants, boats and kiddie cars too
