Hey, it's Christmas time
Hey, Merry Christmas folks
I want a bass boat
I want a new car
I want a lap top
Yeah, new boat, yes
We're on Liberty Records, hey.

You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout: I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town.

He's making a list, checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town.

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So you better be good for goodness sake
(You better be good for goodness sake.)

You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout: I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town.

--- Instrumental ---

The kids in girl an' boyland
Will have a jubilee
Their gonna build a toyland
All around the Christmas tree
(All around the Christmas tree.)

You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout: I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town.

With a little tin horn and a little toy drum
A rooty toot toots and a rummy tum tum
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town.

Coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town.

Coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town.

Coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town.

Coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town.

(Yeah, yeah, Merry Christmas, all right)
(Merry Christmas, ho ho ho)
(Merry Christmas)
(Merry Christmas...)
