Santa Claus Is Coming To Town/santa Man Lyrics - Manhattan Transfer

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!
