Lyric Santa Claus Is Comin To Town (1946 Version)

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

He s makin a list an 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!

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

Say Perry,
somebody s ringin the front doorbell,
shall I answer it?
Oh tell em to go away Helen
we ve got to decorate this Christmas tree!
Where do I connect the lights Perry?
Artie, all you have to do is put the thing in a plug!
Say Perry, I can t find a train switch,
know where it is?
Bobby, the train switch is always
where it s always been!
Hey Perry, what do ya want for Christmas?
Now wait a minute, where are you going?
Oh I m going out to give a few haircuts,
you kids go ahead and sing
I ll be right back!

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

He s makin a list an checkin it twice
gonna find out who s naughty an 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!

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

Santa Claus is comin
to town!
