Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town
Esquivel And His Orchestra And Chorus Lyrics

I just came back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way
I recently returned from a delightful journey on the Milky Way

Stopped off at the North Pole to spend a holiday
I took a break at the North Pole to have a vacation

I called on dear old Santa Claus
I visited the beloved Santa Claus

To see what I could see
To observe and learn from Santa Claus's world

He took me to his workshop
He brought me to his place of work

And told his plans to me, so
And shared his intentions with me

You better watch out, you better not cry
You should be cautious, and not shed tears

Better not pout, I'm telling you why
You shouldn't be sulky, and the reason is

Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is arriving soon

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

Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
He's going to determine who is mischievous and who is good

He sees you when you're sleepin'
He can see you while you're sleeping

He knows when you're awake
He's aware of when you're up and about

He knows if you've been bad or good
He's knowledgeable of whether you've been naughty or nice

So be good for goodness sake
Therefore, be good purely for the sake of righteousness

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Having miniature toy horns and drums

Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Playing cheerful and fun music with the toys

And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Along with dolls with curly hair who toddle and coo

Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Including toy elephants, boats, and children's cars

Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
This will result in children in the world of girls and boys having a festive celebration

They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree
They intend to construct a Toyland around the Christmas tree

Now Santa is a busy man, He has no time to play
Santa is a busy person and can't engage in leisure activities

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

You'd better write your letter now
It's preferable to write your letter right away

And mail it right away
Then immediately send it

Because he's getting ready
Because he's becoming prepared

His reindeer's and his sleigh. So
He's getting his sleigh and reindeer ready, therefore
