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

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

So you
Better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus
Is coming to town
Santa Claus

Santa Claus
Is coming to town

The kids in girl
And boyland
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build
A toyland
All around
The Christmas tree

Better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus
Is coming to town
