Ray Stevens Santa Claus is Watching You Lyrics

Now you children better watch your Ps and Qs
Ah, hang up your clothes and clean up your room
Do everything that you're supposed to do
'Cause Santa Claus is watchin' you.
(He's everywhere, he's everywhere!)

Now all you kids better behave
Get your homework every day
And try to make good grades in school
'Cause Santa Claus is watchin' you.
(He's everywhere, he's everywhere!)

Well, every Christmas Eve, he climbs on his sled full of toys,
And spreads Christmas cheer to all good little girls and boys...

An' Santa Claus says "On Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen, and Bruce and Marvin..." "Say where Rudolph?" Say wha-? - say he's dislocated his hip in a twist contest, and he's all sewed up in the hospital. Yeah! But we got a swinging replacement! Say we've got the fastest steed from the sands of the Araby desert, baby! Say we got Clyde the Camel! And then he sayin'; "On Clyde! On you great camel!" an' Clyde says "Muhhh! Muuhhh!" which is camel for "Don't bug me, man! Say I'm pullin' this sled fast as I can!" Over the trees, over the fences, through the sky, 'cross the clouds, on the roof - click-clack-click - real quick! 'Cause here comes jolly ole Saint Nick - "Ho-ho-ho!"

Now all you children better be good
And act like all good children should
Be careful of what you say and do
'Cause Santa Claus is watchin' you.
(He's everywhere, he's everywhere!)

Well, every Christmas Eve, he climbs on his sled
...with the fuel exhaust, side mirrors, foxtails, mudflaps, an' leopard-skin seats covers...

"Say what has you got in your big bag fo' all the kiddies this year Santa, h'mmmmm?" He say "I got apples, an' oranges, hunnard an' seventy ponies, three thousand sets o' drums, seven thousand comic books an' a do-it-yourself guitar course complete with a 8 by 10 COLOUR photo of Bo Diddley... suitable for framin', yeah!" And with that, leapin' on his sled, an' layin' his finger the side of his nose, he pulled back on the reins, cracked the whip and took off like the first day of the Cape Canarvel rocket, headed straight for the ice and snowy regions of the North Pole which is habitated and abounding in polar bears and penguins. Yes! And you can hear him exclaimin' as he drove out of sight; "On Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen, and Bruce and Marvin! On, Clyde!" an' Clyde sayin' "Muuhhh!" which is camel for "Merry Christmas, everybody!"

"On Clyde! On you great camel!"

Now babydoll, sweetie-pie, sugarplum,
honey-bunch, angel face,
You know you better be good
And act like a true fine lover should.
Be careful what you say and do
'Cause Santa Claus is watchin' you.
(He's everywhere, he's everywhere!)

You'd better kiss me and hold me tight.
An' give me good lovin' every night.
'Cause you'll be sorry if ya make me blue
'Cause Santa Claus is watchin' you.
(He's everywhere, he's everywhere.)

Well you may thing you can sneak around
and get away with something
But there ain't no way,
'Cause Santa's no fool, he's really super cool.
He's the secret head of the CIA.
Eesh, Iish, crime don't pay
(You can't do nothin' cause you're never alone
He's even got a wire tap on your phone.)

So baby if you ever but do me wrong.
Break my heart and leave me alone.
When Christmas comes, you be crying too.
'Cause Santa Claus is watching you.
(He's everywhere, he's everywhere.)

[Interlude]

Every Christmas season, he climbs on his sled full of toys,
With fuel exhaust and side mirrors, the foxtails,the mudflaps,
the leopard-skin seats covers
And spreads Christmas cheer to all good little girls and boys.
Then he says on Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid,
Donner and Blitzen,
and Bruce and Marvin, Leon, Cletus and George and Bill and Slick,
and Do-right, Clyde and Ace and Blackie and Queenie, and Prince
and Spot and Rover
(So where's Rudolph - He's on a stakeout at your house.)
You can run, you can hide, but you can't get away
Got binoculars focused on you everyday.

So baby if you ever but do me wrong.
Break my heart and leave me a
