Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town
Perry Como;with Mitchell Ayres & His Orchestra;& The Ray Charles Singers Lyrics

You better watch out, you better not cry
You should be on guard and not express negative emotions

You better not pout, I'm telling you why
You shouldn't be sulky or ill-tempered, and I'll tell you why

Santa Claus is comin' to town, gather around
Get ready, because Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list and checking it twice
Santa Claus is composing a list and reviewing it twice

He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice
He'll figure out who's been behaving well or poorly

He sees you when you're sleepin'
Santa knows when you are sleeping

He knows when you're awake
He is aware when you are not sleeping

He knows if you've been bad or good
He's aware of whether or not you've behaved well

So be good for goodness sake
Therefore, conduct yourself well simply because it is right

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Featuring small instruments, such as tin horns and toy drums

Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
There are bubbly tooting and rhythmic drumming sounds

And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
With dolls that have curly hair and exhibit toddler-like behavior and sounds

Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Also, featuring toys like elephants, boats, and cars for children

The kids in girls and Boyland will have a jubilee
The boys and girls will feel happy and celebrate

They're gonna build a Toylandtown all around the Christmas tree
The kids will construct a town of toys around the Christmas tree

You mean the big fat man with the long white beard
You're referring to the large, jolly man sporting the long white facial hair
