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 to town



He's sees you when you're sleeping

He knows if 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's 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, yes, Santa Claus

Santa Claus is coming to town
