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 and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town


He knows 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!
Hey!


You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout

I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town


You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout

I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town


He knows 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
Santa Claus is coming to town
