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 he's 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

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 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

Better not pout I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming

To town

He's making a list he's 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

Oh you better watch out you better not cry

Better not pout I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming

Santa Claus is coming to town
