Santa Claus is a busy guy
He has no time to play
He's got millions of toys for girls and boys
And stockings to fill for Christmas Day
Oh, you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
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 knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
You better watch just what you say
Or he may never come your way
Santa Claus is coming to town
Watch out and don't you cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Big list, he's checking it twice
And he knows when you're naughty and when you're nice
He knows when you've been 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
Santa Claus is coming, Santa Claus is coming
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rudy-toot-toot and ruddy bum-bums
Santa Claus is coming, he's coming to town
To town
