(J. Fred Coots/Haven Gillespie)



You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not put I'm tellin' you why

Santa Claus is coming to town



He's making a list and checkin' it twice

Gonna find out who's knotty or nice

Santa Claus is coming to town



He sees you when your sleepin'

He knows when you're awake

He knows if you've been bad or good

So be good for goodness sake

O you better watch out

You better not cry

You better not put I'm tellin' you why

Santa Claus is coming to town



With little tin horns

And little toy drums

Rutty toot, toots and rummy tum, tum

Santa Claus is coming to town



With curly head dogs to cuttle and hug

Elephants, ropes, and kitty card to

Santa Claus is coming to town



The kids and girl and boy land

Will have a jubilee

There gonna fill the toy lad all around with Christmas trees



So you better watch out

You better not cry

You better not put I'm tellin' you why

Santa Claus is coming

Santa Claus is coming to town
