Sant Claus is Comin' to Town Songtext
von Perry Como

You better watch out, you better not cry
Here′s the man who's gonna tell you why

I just got back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way
I stopped off at the North Pole to spend the holiday
I called on dear old Santa Claus to see what I could see
He took me in his workshop and told his plans to me

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

He′s makin' a list and checkin′ it twice
Gonna find out whose naughty or nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town

He sees you when you′re sleepin' (he sees you)
He knows when you′re awake (he knows)
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 runny tum tums
Santa Claus is comin′ to town

And curly head dolls that cuddle and coo
Elephants, boats and kiddy cars too
Santa Claus, Santa Claus, Santa Claus is comin'
Comin′ to town

The kids in girl and boy land will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toyland town
All around the Christmas tree!

So, you better watch out, better not cry
Better not pout, I′m tellin' you why
The big jolly man in the bright red suit
With his sleigh all full of loot
Santa Claus is comin' to town
