Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town
Bryan White Lyrics

I just came back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way
I went on a surreal journey through space and time

Stopped off at the North Pole to spend a holiday
I visited the mythical winter wonderland for a vacation

I called on dear old Santa Claus to see what I could see
I wanted to meet the famous Saint Nick and see what he does

He took me to his workshop and told his plans to me, so
He showed me around his toy-making factory and shared his ideas with me

You better watch out, you better not cry
Be cautious and avoid being emotional

Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Don't act disappointed or sulky because I have a reason for it

Santa Claus is comin' to town
Father Christmas is visiting our community

He's making a list and checking it twice
He's taking inventory of who's been nice or naughty

Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
He wants to know who deserves a reward or punishment

He sees you when you're sleepin'
He watches over you even when you're unconscious

He knows when you're a wake
He's aware of your activities when you're conscious

He knows if you've been bad or good
He's aware of your misconduct and good deeds

So be good for goodness sake
Therefore, be well-behaved for your own benefit

With little tin horns and little toy drums
There will be mini musical instruments like trumpets and drums

Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
And they will make jolly, rhythmic sounds

And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
There will also be cute, walking dolls that coo and utter baby sounds

Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
There will be stuffed animals, ships, and toy vehicles

Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
Then boys' and girls' territories will be filled with joy and happiness

They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree
They will construct a play area with lots of toys surrounding the tree

Now Santa is a busy man, he has no time to play
Santa is preoccupied with making and delivering presents, so he can't relax

He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day
He needs to stuff countless stockings with toys for the holiday

You'd better write your letter now, and mail it right away
You should write a message to him before it's too late and compensate the postage

Because he's getting ready, his reindeer's and his sleigh. So
Because he's preparing his sleigh and his trusted caribou.

Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa is arriving at the city or town soon.
