Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
Ross Diana & The Supremes Lyrics

I just came back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way
I recently returned from a wonderful journey among the stars

Stopped off at the North Pole to spend a holiday
I took a break at the Arctic to celebrate

I called on dear old Santa Claus to see what I could see
I visited the venerable St. Nick to learn what I could learn

He took me to his workshop and told his plans to me, so
He showed me his sanctuary and shared his intentions

You better watch out, you better not cry
Be wary, do not weep

Better not pout, I'm telling you why
And do not frown, for this is the reason

Santa Claus is comin' to town
Father Christmas will soon arrive

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'll discover who's been mischievous or virtuous

He sees you when you're sleepin'
He observes while you slumber

He knows when you're a wake
He comprehends when you're alert

He knows if you've been bad or good
He recognizes if you've been wicked or kind

So be good for goodness sake
Therefore, be virtuous simply for the sake of purity

Oh! You better watch out, you better not cry
Oh! Be wary, do not weep

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Featuring small metallic horns and play percussion instruments

Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Playing whimsical melodies and generating fun beats

And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
As well as curly-haired babies that toddle and giggle

Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
As well as toy elephants, boats, and miniature cars

Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
Then the youngsters in all corners of the world will rejoice

They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree
Where they will assemble a magnificent fantasy world of toys around the tree

Now Santa is a busy man, He has no time to play
Naturally, Santa is very busy and cannot be leisurely

He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day
He has many stockings to stuff on Christmas morning

You'd better write your letter now
You ought to write your message soon

And mail it right away
And post it promptly without delay

Because he's getting ready
For he is currently preparing

His reindeer's and his sleigh. So
His fleet-footed deer and his sled are being readied. Therefore,
