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

He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice

Santa Claus is coming

Santa Claus is coming to town

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 when 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

Santa Claus is coming to town

Little toy dolls that cuddle and coo

Elephants boats and kiddy cars too

Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping

He knows when you're awake

He knows when 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

Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list

Checking it twice

Gonna find out who's naughty or nice

Santa Claus is coming

Santa Claus is coming

Santa Claus is coming to town

Oh you better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming

Santa Claus is coming

Santa Claus is coming to town

To town
