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
and 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
you better watch out
you better not cry
you better not pout
i'm telling you why
santa claus is coming to town
you know dasher and dancer
and prancer and vi en
comet and cupid
and donner and blitzen
but do you recall
the most famous reindeer of all
rudolph the red nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose
and if you ever saw it
you would even say it glows
all of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names
they never let poor rudolph
join in any reindeer games
then one foggy christmas eve
santa came to say
rudolph with your nose so bright
won't you guide my sleigh tonight
all of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names
they never let poor rudolph
join in any reindeer games
dashing through the snow in
a one horse open sleigh
over the fields we go
laughing all the way
bells on bobtails ring
making spirits bright
what fun it is to ride and
sing a sleighing song tonight
oh jingle bells jingle
bells jingle all the way
oh what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh
oh jingle bells jingle
bells jingle all the way
oh what fun it is to ride
in a one horse open sleigh
we wish you a merry christmas
we wish you a merry christmas
we wish you a merry christmas
and a happy new year
good tidings we bring
to you and your kin
we wish you a merry christmas
and a happy new year
all is calm all is bright
round yon virgin mother and child
holy infant so tender and mild
sleep in heavenly peace
sleep in heavenly peace
son of god loves pure light
radiant beams from thy holy face
with the dawn of redeeming grace
