Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town
Bing Crosby; The Andrews Sisters Lyrics

You better watch out, you better not cry
You should pay close attention and be cautious, avoid tears and refrain from sulking

You better not pout, I'm telling you why
You should avoid behaving childishly and throwing tantrums, and I will tell you the reason why

Santa Claus is comin' to town, gather around
The legendary figure of Santa Claus is arriving, and everyone should be present and eagerly waiting

He's making a list and checking it twice
Santa Claus is preparing a list of who has been good and bad, and carefully reviewing it twice

He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice
He will determine who has been behaving poorly or honorably, and act accordingly

He sees you when you're sleepin'
Santa Claus is aware of when you are sleeping, without you knowing it

He knows when you're awake
He has knowledge of your awake and alert state at all times

He knows if you've been bad or good
He is aware of everyone's misconduct or virtue

So be good for goodness sake
It is essential to be well-behaved, simply for the sake of being good

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Toys like tiny horns and drums are present

Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Noisy and fun sounds of playthings can be heard

And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Dolls with curly hair that wobble and converse can be observed

Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Toys like toy elephants, boats, and kiddie cars are also available

The kids in girls and Boyland will have a jubilee
Boys and Girls will be overjoyed and happy with the festivities

They're gonna build a Toylandtown all around the Christmas tree
A place filled with toys and entertainment will be built in a circle around the Christmas tree

You mean the big fat man with the long white beard
Are you referring to the jolly, overweight man with the lengthy white beard?

He's comin' to town
He's arriving in the vicinity
