(Santa Claus is coming, you better watch out
Santa Claus is coming, you better watch out)

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 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
Oh, you better be good tonight

With little tin horns
And little toy drums
A rooty-toot-toot
And a tum-tum-tum
Santa Claus is coming to town

(Oh, you better watch out)

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 be good tonight

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

(Oh, you better watch out)
He's coming to town
(Oh, you better watch out)
Oh, he's coming to town
(Oh, you better watch out)
Oh, you know he's coming
