Santa Claus Is Back In Town
B.O Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just came back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way
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 to his workshop
And told his plans to me, so

[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 a wake
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

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
Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland 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

Now Santa is a busy man, He has no time to play
He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day
You'd better write your letter now
And mail it right away
Because he's getting ready
His reindeer's and his sleigh. So

[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
Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland 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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to B.O's song "Santa Claus Is Back In Town," start with the singer returning from a journey through the Milky Way and stopping at the North Pole to visit Santa Claus. He describes Santa showing him around his workshop and explaining his plans. The song's chorus warns children to behave themselves because Santa is coming to town to check on who has been naughty or nice. The lyrics further describe Santa's preparations for the holiday season, including filling stockings and building Toyland, a magical place for children to celebrate and play.


The song's opening lines are whimsical and set the stage for the song's playful tone. The singer's journey through the Milky Way and his visit to the North Pole feel like a magical fantasy that is fun to imagine. It's interesting to note that while the singer sees Santa's workshop on this visit, he doesn't mention seeing Santa himself until the chorus.


The chorus, which is repeated several times throughout the song, is both catchy and cautionary. The message to children is clear: behave yourself, or you won't receive any gifts from Santa. The lyrics go on to describe the types of toys and gifts that Santa will bring to children who have been good, including "little tin horns and little toy drums" and "curly head dolls that toddle and coo." The final lines of the song encourage children to write their letters to Santa right away, so he can read them and prepare in advance for Christmas Day.


Overall, "Santa Claus Is Back In Town" is a lighthearted Christmas song that celebrates the magic of the season and reminds children to be good. It showcases the excitement and wonder that many people feel around Christmas and inspires listeners to imagine a world where toys come to life and Santa Claus flies through the sky on a sleigh.

Well, it's Christmas time, pretty baby
And the snow is fallin' on the ground
(Christmas, Christmas)
Well, it's Christmas time, pretty baby
And the snow is on the ground (Christmas, Christmas)
Well, you be a real good little girl
Santa Claus is back in town (Christmas, Christmas)

Got no sleigh with reindeer, no sack on my back
You're gonna see me comin' in a big black Cadillac

Whoa, oh, it's Christmas time, pretty baby
And the snow is fallin' on the ground 
Well, you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town (Christmas, Christmas)

Hang up your pretty stockings
Turn off the light
Santa Claus is comin' down your chimney tonight

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, it's Christmas time, baby
And the snow is fallin' on the ground
Well, you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town (Christmas, Christmas, Christmas)
