Ho, ho, ho
(Santa Claus is coming to town)

You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town

He's making a list, checkin' it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
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

Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town

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
Elephant boats, and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin' to town

Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland town all around the Christmas tree

Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
(Santa Claus is coming to town)
