I've just come back from a lovely trip Along the Milky Way I stopped by the North Pole Spend the holiday I called on dear ol' Santa Claus To see what I could see He took me to his workshop And told his plans to me So, you better watch out You better not cry Better not pout I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town He's making a list And checking it twice 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 good or bad So be good, for goodness sake! Oh! You better watch out! You better not cry Better not pout, I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town 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 to town
