- J.F. Coots - H. Gillespie - 

You better watch out 
You better not cry 
You better not pout 
I'm telling you why 

Santa Claus is comin' to town 
Santa Claus is comin' to town 
Santa Claus is comin' to town 

He's making a list 
He's checking it twice 
He's gonna find out 
Who's naughty or nice 

Santa Claus is comin' to town 
Santa Claus is comin' to town 
Santa Claus is comin' 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 

So you better watch out 
You better not cry 
You better not pout 
I'm telling you why 

Santa Claus is comin' to town 
Santa Claus is comin' to town 
Santa Claus is comin' to town 

The kids in girl and boyland 
Will have a jubilee 
They're gonna build a toyland 
All around the Christmas tree 

So you better watch out 
You better not cry 
You better not pout 
I'm telling you why 

Santa Claus (is comin' to town) 
Santa Claus (is comin' to town) 
Santa Claus is comin' 
Santa Claus is comin' 
Santa Claus is comin' 
To town
