You better not pout I'm telling you why

Why Santa Claus is coming to town

Gather round he's making a list

And checking it twice

He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice

Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping

He knows when you're awake

He knows if you've been bad or good

So be good for goodness sake

You better watch out you better not cry

You better not pout I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

With little tin horns and little toy drums

Rudee toot toots and rum a tum tums

Santa Claus is coming to town

And curly head dolls that toddle and coo

Elephant boats and kiddie cars too

Santa Claus is coming to town

The kids and girls in boyland will have a jubilee

They're gonna build a toyland town all around the christmas tree

You better watch out you better not cry

You better not pout I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping

And he knows when you're awake

He knows if you've been bad or good

So be good for goodness sake

You better watch out you better not cry

You better not pout I'm telling you why

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

You mean the big fat man with the long white beard

He's coming to town
