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 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! 

O! 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
