I just came back from a lovely trip along the milky way
I stopped off at the north pole to spend the holiday
I called on old dear santa claus to see what I could see
He took me to his workshop and told his plans to me
Now santa is a busy man - he has no time to play
Hes got millions of stockings to fill on christmas day
You better write your letter now and mail it right away
Because hes getting ready - his reindeers and his sleigh
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, Im telling you why
Santa claus is coming to town
Santa claus is coming to town
Santa claus is coming to town

Hes making a list and checking it twice
Hes gonna find out whos naughty or nice
Santa claus is coming to town
Santa claus is coming to town
Santa claus is coming to town

He sees you when youre sleeping, he knows when youre awake
He knows if youve been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake

Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, Im telling you why
Santa claus is coming to town
Santa claus is coming to town
Santa claus is coming to town

Little tin horns, little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Curly head dolls that coddle and coo
Elephants, boats and kiddie cars too
Santa claus is coming to town
Santa claus is coming to town
Santa claus is coming to town

The kids in girl and boyland will have a jubilee
Theyre gonna build a toyland all around the christmas tree

So you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, Im telling you why
Santa claus is coming to town
Santa claus is coming to town
Santa claus is coming to town
Santa claus is coming to town
Santa claus is coming to town
Santa claus is coming to town
