Santa Claus is comin' to town
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He is making a list
And checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town, oh yeah
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Oh, you'd better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Oh, Santa Claus is comin' to town, oh yeah
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town, woo hoo
Woo hoo
Woo hoo
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Little tin horns
And little toy drums
Rooty-toot-toot

Curly-haired dolls
That tootle and coo

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Santa Claus is comin' to town, oh yeah
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
