The Unique Way She Plays “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” Will Take Your Breath Away

He’s Coming!

She’s making a list and checkin’ it twice, Gabriella Quevedo that is, a popular youtube musician that has built a great relationship with amazing guitarist Tommy Emmanuel. In this festive and cheerful “Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town” performance, Gabriella hits all the right notes in all the right ways. 

“You better watch out, you better not cry. Better not pout, I’m telling you why, Santa Claus is comin’ to town…”

As one of the greatest Christmas songs of all time, we thought we would give you a little background on this wonderfully cheery song. Written by Haven Gillespie and J. Fred Coots in 1932, “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” was inspired by childrens’ anticipation for Santa Claus’s arrival.

Interesting Fact: According to a Top 30 list released by the performance rights organization ASCAP in December 2014, this is the most-performed holiday song of all time.

Sporting a flashy, holiday-themed hat, Gabriella is really getting into the spirit with this beautiful, acoustic rendition of “Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town.” We hope you enjoy it and have a wonderful holiday season! 

+ Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town Lyrics +

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
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
He’s making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
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
Santa Claus is comin’ to town

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
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 all around the Christmas tree
So! You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is comin’ to town

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. So

You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
He’s making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
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
Santa Claus is comin’ to town

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
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 all around the Christmas tree
So! You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
