You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm tellin' you why

Santa Claus is comin' to town!

He's making a list
He's checking it twice
Gonna find out
Who's naughty or nice

Santa Claus is comin' 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 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 comin' to town!

He's making a list
And checkin' it twice
Gonna find out
Who's naughty or 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 better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming to town
