Santa Claus Is Coming to Town
Jive Bunny Lyrics

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

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

I called on dear old Santa Claus
I visited Santa Claus in person.

To see what I could see
To witness what he does in preparation for Christmas.

He took me to his workshop
He showed me around his work area.

And told his plans to me, so
He shared his intentions for his upcoming visits.

You better watch out, you better not cry
Be on your best behavior, do not shed tears.

Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Don't act sulky, let me tell you the reason.

Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is heading our way.

He's making a list and checking it twice
He's compiling a record and double-checking it.

Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
He will determine who's been good or bad.

He sees you when you're sleepin'
He can observe you even when you're asleep.

He knows when you're a wake
He's aware when you're conscious.

He knows if you've been bad or good
He's knowledgeable if you've been misbehaving or well-behaved.

So be good for goodness sake
Behave well just for the sake of it.

Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry
You should pay attention, you better not get emotional.

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Featuring small brass trumpets and plaything drums.

Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Fun-sounding horn and drum noises.

And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
And dolls with bouncy curls that move and make cute sounds.

Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Even elephants, boats, and toy cars.

Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
Children in the land of girls and boys will have a joyous celebration.

They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree
They'll build a world of toys surrounding the tree on Christmas.

Now Santa is a busy man, He has no time to play
Santa is a busy person who doesn't have any leisure time.

He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day
He has to stuff a large number of stockings on December 25th.

You'd better write your letter now
It's best to write your letter at this time.

And mail it right away
And return it by post without delay.

Because he's getting ready
Because he's preparing.

His reindeer's and his sleigh. So
His sleigh and reindeer are also being prepared.

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Featuring small brass trumpets and plaything drums.

Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Fun-sounding horn and drum noises.

And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
And dolls with bouncy curls that move and make cute sounds.

Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Even elephants, boats, and toy cars.

Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
Children in the land of girls and boys will have a joyous celebration.

They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree
They'll build a world of toys surrounding the tree on Christmas.

So! You better watch out, you better not cry
So! You should pay attention, you better not get emotional.

Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Don't act sulky, let me tell you the reason.

Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is heading our way.
