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
Checking it twice
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 watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
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, be good for goodness sake

You better watch out
You better not cry
(You better not pout
I'm telling you why)
Santa Claus is coming to town, (to town)
? on his way (O.K.)
He's got ? all over the ? (Oh, yeah)
He's Santa, he's coming to town
There you go
(Oh, yeah)
