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
