Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
Bill Evans Lyrics

I just came back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way
I recently returned from a delightful journey through the galaxy.

Stopped off at the North Pole to spend a holiday
I took a break at the North Pole, looking to spend my holidays.

I called on dear old Santa Claus
I went to visit the beloved Santa Claus.

To see what I could see
I wanted to find out what I could learn by visiting him.

He took me to his workshop
He showed me around his workspace.

And told his plans to me, so
He shared his future plans with me.

You better watch out, you better not cry
You should be aware, and try not to cry.

Better not pout, I'm telling you why
It's best not to sulk, and here's the reason why.

Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is on his way into town.

He's making a list and checking it twice
He's compiling a list, and double-checking it too.

Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
He's going to determine who's been good and bad.

He sees you when you're sleepin'
He observes you while you're asleep.

He knows when you're a wake
He knows when you're awake.

He knows if you've been bad or good
He knows if you've been naughty or nice.

So be good for goodness sake
Therefore, it's best to be good, for the sake of being good.

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Featuring small, tin horns and drum toys.

Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Playing cheerful and lively tunes.

And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Along with dolls with curly hair who walk and murmur sweetly.

Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
As well as toy elephants, boats, and children's cars.

Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
Children in the land of girls and boys will have a joyful celebration.

They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree
They'll be constructing a Wonderland of Toys that will enfolds around the Christmas tree.

Now Santa is a busy man, He has no time to play
Santa is quite busy and has no spare leisure time.

He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day
On Christmas day, he has to fill millions of stockings with gifts.

You'd better write your letter now
It would be wise for you to write your letter right now.

And mail it right away
Then, send it immediately.

Because he's getting ready
Since he's preparing.

His reindeer's and his sleigh. So
Preparing his reindeers and sleigh thus.
