Santa Claus Is Coming to Town
Joyful Revelations: Santa's Watchful Eye on Goodness
Lyrics
You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry
You should be cautious, refrain from crying
You'd better not pout, I'm telling you why:
Avoid sulking, and I'll explain why:
Santa Claus is coming to town
Because Santa Claus is on his way
He's making a list, checking it twice
He's creating a list, checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Determining who's been good or naughty, precise
Santa Claus is coming to town
Reiterating that Santa Claus is coming soon
He sees you when you're sleeping
He observes you during slumber
He knows when you're awake
Aware of your moments when you're wide awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
Knowledgeable about your deeds, both bad and good
So be good for goodness sake!
So strive to be virtuous, for the sake of goodness
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Depicting festive items like tin horns and toy drums
Rooty-toot-toots and rum-a-tum-tums
Various joyful sounds and rhythms
Santa Claus is coming to town
Reaffirming the imminent arrival of Santa Claus
And curly-head dolls that toddle and coo
Mentioning dolls with curly heads, toddling and cooing
Elephants, boats, and kiddy cars too
List of diverse toys, including elephants, boats, and kiddy cars
Santa Claus is coming to town
Reiterating that Santa Claus is en route
The kids in Girl- and Boyland will have a jubilee
Anticipating a joyous celebration in Girl- and Boyland
They're gonna build a Toyland town
Describing the creation of a Toyland town
All around the Christmas tree
Encircling the Christmas tree with festivities
