Preface
The Christmas season is in the air. It is the time to forgive and let go of the past. This is also the best time to take a break from all the stresses in life. Santa Claus Is Coming to Town is a song which involves the coming of Santa Claus, also known as Father Christmas to many that believe in the legend.
History of Carol Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
This Christmas song was originally written by Haven Gillespie and John Frederick Coots. The banjoist Harry Reser, together with his band, made the first recording of the song during the 1930’s. The very first airing of this famed Christmas carol was heard on Eddie Cantor’s radio station on November of that year and from that day on, it became a smashing hit selling over 400,000 copies.
There are numerous singers who have their own version of the song and that includes Alan Jackson, Alice Cooper, All-4-One, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Alvino Rey with the King Sisters, Andrea Bocelli, Andy Williams, Angelica Maria (Spanish version), B2K, Beegie Adair, Bianca Ryan and Bill Evans.
Although it is an amusing pastime to think of Santa during Christmas, we should always be reminded that it is the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ that we celebrate this season.

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town Lyrics
Oh! You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He's making a list,
He's checking it twice,
He's gonna find out
who's naughty or nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town!
He sees you when you're sleeping,
He knows when you're awake.
He knows when you've been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake!
So...You better watch out,
You better not cry
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming to town.
Little tin horns,
Little toy drums.
Rudy-toot-toot
and rummy tum tums.
Santa Claus is coming to town.
Little toy dolls
that cuddle and coo,
Elephants, boats
and Kiddie cars too.
Santa Claus is coming to town.
The kids in Girl and Boy Land
will have a jubilee.
They're gonna build a toyland town
all around the Christmas tree.
Oh....You better watch out,
You better not cry.
You better not pout,
I'm telling you why.
Santa Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin'
To town.
