Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town (he's coming to town)
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice, ooh, ooh
Santa Claus is coming to town, oh yeah
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town (baby, he's coming to town)
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're a wake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town, yeah
Santa Claus is coming to town

Whoa, whoa, he's coming to town
Yeah, he's coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town (he's coming to town)
Santa Claus is coming to town

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is coming to town, oh yeah
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Whoa, town now
Santa Claus is coming to town, yeah
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
