Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town
Jackson 5 (Holiday) Lyrics

Santa Claus is comin' to town
Get ready for the arrival of Santa Claus

You'd better watch out
Be cautious of your behavior

You'd better not cry
Crying will not help, Santa is coming anyway

You'd better not pout
Don't behave petulantly, Santa is watching

I'm telling you why
He's coming to town to determine who has been naughty or nice

He's making a list
Santa is drawing up a list of who has been naughty or nice

And checking it twice
He's checking his list twice to ensure that he doesn't miss anything

Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
He's coming to town to determine who has been good or bad

He sees you when you're sleeping
Santa is always keeping an eye on you when you're asleep

He knows when you're awake
Santa knows when you're up and about

He knows if you've been bad or good
Santa is aware of all the good and bad things you've done

So be good for goodness sake
Be good for the sake of being good, not just to please Santa

Little tin horns
Small toy horns

And little toy drums
Small toy drums

Rooty toot toot
The sound made by a horn

And rump a tum tum
The sound made by a drum

Curly haired dolls
Dolls with curly hair

That tootle and coo
Dolls that make sounds

Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Other toys children may receive for Christmas
