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
