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!

Look out old Santa is back - yeah!
