SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN
J. Fred Coots, Henry Gillespie (c) 1934

You better watch out [A]
You better not cry [D]
Better not pout [A A7]
I'm telling you why [D D7]
Santa Claus is coming to town [A E A E7]

He's making a list, And checking it twice; Gonna find out Who's naughty
and nice. Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping [G A D]
He knows when you're awake [G A D]
He knows if you've been bad or good [F#m7 E]
So be good for goodness sake [B7 E E7]

Oh! You better watch out! You better not cry. Better not pout, I'm telling
you why. Santa Claus is coming to town.
Santa Claus is coming to town.

[I also do these lyrics in a "blues" version using E A7 & B7 similar to
Eric Clapton's "Before You Accuse Me".sj]
