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 sees you when you're sleeping

And 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

Cause Santa Claus is coming to town

OH let's go

Now He sees you when you're sleeping

And he knows when you're awake

And 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 better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming

I mean a big fat man with a long white beard

He's coming to town
