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

He's making a list, he's checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' 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 comin' to town

Santa Claus, Santa Claus, we're here, we're right here

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

You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Yes, he's on his way (on his way)
He's got toys on his sleigh
Santa (Santa Claus) is comin' to town
He's coming to town (where'd you go?)
