Santa Claus Is Coming to Town - Etta Jones, Houston Person

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, checking it twice

Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice

Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you’re sleeping

Knows when you’re awake

Knows if you’ve been bad or good

So be good for goodness sake

Oh, you better watch out, better not cry

Better not pout, I’m telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

You better watch out, you better not cry

Better not pout, I’m telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

With little tin horns, little toy drums

Rudy-toot-toots and rummy tum tums

Santa Claus is coming to town

The kids in Girl and Boy Land

Will have a jubilee

They’re gonna build a toyland

All around the Christmas tree

You better watch out, you better not cry

Better not pout, I’m telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa’s coming, look out for Santa

Bringing lots of toys for all the boys and girls

Santa’s on his way, Santa’s coming to town

You better watch out, you better not cry
