Lyrics for Santa Claus Is Coming To Town by Haven Gillespie, Music by J. Fred Coots
Lyrics for Santa Man by Alan Paul

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I m tellin you why
Santa Claus is comin to town

He s makin a list
Checkin it twice
Gonna find out who s naughty or nice
Santa Claus is comin to town

He sees you when you re sleepin
He knows when you re awake
He knows if you ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I m tellin you why
Santa Claus is comin to town...to town --

Over there
Santa Claus is comin so be prepared
Don t you cry or worry go and get your stocking hung
Every little thing to do is done
Santa s list of toys is gone the tree the cue
And don t forget to brush
Every little one
Cause soon as your sleepin
Teeth police will come checkin to see if every pearl is glistenin
Don t be missin any spot or they ll tattle-tale ans Santa he won t come

You re dealin with toyland springs
When he brings the season joy with toys and things
But if you go dancin Samba through the night
Be warned, beware
Or else you ll scare the hair off of Rudolph and he ll fly from here
That s a fact and then you ll cry and rave and wish that you d behaved
So heed this warning before morning comes upon you
Go to sleep and goodnight!

(Piano solo)

All the boys and girls dream of Toyland,
Wish that the snowman soon would play
And they are sure to get their wishes met
When they hear the words we say...

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I m tellin you why
Santa Claus is comin
Santa Claus is comin
Santa Claus is comin to town
To town!
To town!
