I just came back from a lovely trip Along the Milky Way I stopped off at the North Pole To spend a holiday I called on dear old Santa Claus To see what I could see He took me to his big workshop And told his plans to me. So,
[Chorus] You better watch out You better not cry Better not pout, I'm telling you why Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's making a list And checking it twice Gonna find out who's naughty and nice Santa Claus is comin' to town
He sees you when you're sleepin' He knows when you're awake, He knows if you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake
[Repeat Chorus]
With little tin horns and little toy drums Rooty-toot-toots and rummy-tum-tums Santa Claus is comin' to town And curly head dolls that toddle and coo Elephants, boats and kiddie cars too Santa Claus is comin' to town
The kids in girl and boyland Will have a jubilee They're gonna build a Toyland town All around the Christmas tree, so
