Santa Claus
Daigle & Elkins Lyrics

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

Stopped off at the North Pole to spend a holiday
I made a brief stop at the North Pole to enjoy a vacation.

I called on dear old Santa Claus to see what I could see
I visited Santa Claus to see what he was up to.

He took me to his workshop and told his plans to me, so
He showed me his workshop and shared his upcoming plans with me.

You better watch out, you better not cry
Be careful and don't cry.

Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Don't sulk, and I'll tell you why.

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

He's making a list and checking it twice
He is creating a list and verifying it twice.

Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
He is going to discover who has been well-behaved and who has not.

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

He knows when you're awake
He knows when you're conscious.

He knows if you've been bad or good
He knows whether you have acted poorly or well.

So be good for goodness sake
Therefore, be good for the sake of being good.

Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry
Oh, be careful and don't cry.

Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Don't sulk, and I'll tell you why.

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

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Small horns made of tin and toy drums.

Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Merry tunes and lively rhythms.

And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Dolls with curly hair that walk and make cooing sounds.

Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Also, elephants, boats, and toy cars for children.

Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
Children in imaginary lands of girls and boys will be very happy.

They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree
They will create a Toyland near the Christmas tree.

So! You better watch out, you better not cry
So, be careful and don't cry.

Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Don't sulk, and I'll tell you why.

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

Now Santa is a busy man, He has no time to play
Santa is very busy and has no time for leisure activities.

He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day
He has to fill millions of Christmas stockings on Christmas day.

You'd better write your letter now
It is best if you write your letter soon.

And mail it right away
And send it without a delay.

Because he's getting ready, his reindeer's and his sleigh. So
Because he is preparing his reindeer and sleigh. Therefore,

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Small horns made of tin and toy drums.

Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Merry tunes and lively rhythms.

And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Dolls with curly hair that walk and make cooing sounds.

Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Also, elephants, boats, and toy cars for children.

Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
Children in imaginary lands of girls and boys will be very happy.

They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree
They will create a Toyland near the Christmas tree.

So! You better watch out, you better not cry
So, be careful and don't cry.

Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Don't sulk, and I'll tell you why.

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