You better watch out

You better not cry

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

So you better watch out

You better not cry

Better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

Better watch out

Better not cry

Don't pout

I'm telling you why

Oh Santa Claus is coming to town

Making a list

Checking it twice

He'll know who's been naughty or nice

Yeah Santa Claus is coming to town

Now 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

Better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa Claus is coming to town
