I just came back from a lovely trip along the Milky Way 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 You better watch out, you better not cry Better not pout, I'm telling you why He's making a list and checking it twice Gonna find out who's naughty and nice He sees you when you're sleepin' He knows when you're a wake 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 With little tin horns and little toy drums Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums And curly head dolls that toddle and coo Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree So! You better watch out, you better not cry Better not pout, I'm telling you why 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 reindeer's and his sleigh.
