You better not cry 
You better not pout

Santa Claus

If you've been bad 
Or good 
So be good 
For goodness sake 

So you 
You better not cry 
You better not pout

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

You better not cry 
You better not pout
