I just came back from a lovely trip Along the Milky Way,
I stopped off at the North Pole To spend a holiday;
I called on dear old 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 comin' to town.
His making a list and checking it twice,
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice,
Santa Claus is comin' to town.
He sees you when you're sleeping,
He knows when you're a 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 telling you why: Santa Claus is comin' to town.
