Oh 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

Checking it twice

Gonna find out who's naughty and 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

Oh you better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

All the girls and boys in joy land

Will have a jubilee

They're gonna build a toyland

All around the Christmas tree

Oh you better watch out you better not cry

You better not pout I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa Claus is coming to town
