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 makin' a list
Checkin' it twice
Gonna find out
Who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleepin'
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 tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Oh, yes he is

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

So, you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
