Classic Poem

VERSE 1

I just came back from a lovely trip
Along the Milky Way.
I stopped off at the North Pole
To spend a holiday.
I called on dear old Santa Claus
To see what I could see.
He took me to his workshop
And told his plans to me.
So,

REFRAIN 1

You better watch out,
You better not cry,
Better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is comin' to town.
He's making a list
And checking it twice,
Gonna find out
Who's naughty and 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.
Oh! You better watch out,
You better not cry,
Better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is comin' to town.

VERSE 2

Now Santa is a busy man,
He has no time to play.
He's got millions of stockings
To fill on Christmas day.
You'd better write your letter now
And mail it right away,
Because he's getting ready
His reindeers and his sleigh.
So,

REFRAIN 2

With little tin horns and little toy drums,
Rooty-toot-toots and rummy-tum-tums,
Santa Claus is comin' to town.
And curlyhead dolls that toddle and coo,
Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too,
Santa Claus is comin' to town.
The kids in Girl- and Boyland
Will have a jubilee,
They're gonna build a Toyland town
All around the Christmas tree.
So! You better watch out,
You better not cry,
Better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is comin' to town.
