You'd better watch out, you'd 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 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'd better watch out, you'd better not cry

Better not pout, I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town
