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 is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming, is coming to town

He's making a list
He's checking it twice
He's gonna find out
Who's been naughty or nice

Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming, is coming to town, yeah

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

Oh, 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 is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming, is coming to town

The kids in girl and boy-land
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toy-land
All around the Christmas tree

Oh, 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 is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming, is coming to town
