You better watch out
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 or nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town

You better watch out
You better not cry
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 for goodness sake!

Oh! You better watch out!
You better not cry.
Better not pout, I'm telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming, to town.

Little toy dolls
That cuddle and coo
Elephants, boats and kid cars too
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows when you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!

Oh! You better watch out!
You better not cry.
Better not pout, I'm telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming, to town.

He's making a list
Checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming, to town

Better not pout, I'm telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming, to town
To town
