~~~ Other versions ~~~
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
You better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He’s making a list,
And checking it twice;
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 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 telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
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,
And checking it twice;
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 if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
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
With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is coming to town
~~~ Other versions ~~~
And curly head dolls that toddle and coo
Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
Then kids in Girl and Boy land 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
You better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming to town
~~~ Other versions ~~~
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.

Prevod pesme
Deda Mraz nam stiže u grad
~~~ Druge verzije ~~~
Upravo sam se vratio sa divnog putovanja Mlečnim putem
Svratio na Severni pol na odmor
Posetio starog dobrog Deda Mraza
Da vidim šta se da videti
U svoju me radionicu vodio
I svoje mi planove ispričao, i zato
~~~
Bolje pripazi
Bolje ne plači
Bolje se ne duri
Reći ću ti zašto
Deda Mraz nam stiže u grad
On pravi spisak,
Proverava ga dvaput;
Saznaće ko je nestašan ko fin.
Deda Mraz nam stiže u grad
On vidi kad spavaš
On zna kad si budan
Zna da li si bio nevaljao ili dobar
Zato, budi dobar, za ime boga
Bolje pripazi
Bolje ne plači
Bolje se ne duri
Reći ću ti zašto
Deda Mraz nam stiže u grad
Bolje pripazi
Bolje ne plači
Bolje se ne duri
Reći ću ti zašto
Deda Mraz nam stiže u grad
On pravi spisak,
I proverava ga dvaput;
Saznaće ko je nestašan ko fin.
Deda Mraz nam stiže u grad
On vidi kad spavaš
On zna kad si budan
Zna da li si bio nevaljao ili dobar
Zato, budi dobar, za ime boga
Bolje pripazi
Bolje ne plači
Bolje se ne duri
Reći ću ti zašto
Deda Mraz nam stiže u grad
Sa malim limenim trubama i malim dečijim bubnjevima
ru tu tu i dum dum dum
Deda Mraz nam stiže u grad
~~~ Druge verzije ~~~
I sa kovrdžavim lutkama što se gegaju i guguču
Slonovima, čamcima, i dečijim autićima
Deda Mraz nam stiže u grad
Onda će se radovati deca u Zemlji devojčica i dečaka
Sagradiće Grad igračaka
u krug oko jelke Božićne
~~~
Zato, bolje pripazi
Bolje ne plači
Bolje se ne duri
Reći ću ti zašto
Deda Mraz nam stiže
Deda Mraz nam stiže
Deda Mraz nam stiže u grad
~~~ Druge verzije ~~~
Znaš, Mraz je jedan zauzet čovek, nema on vremena da se igra
Čekaju ga milioni čarapa da ih napuni, svakog Božića
Bolje odmah piši svoje pismo
I šalji ga bez odlaganja
Jer on priprema
Svoje irvase i saonice.
