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

(Hey!)

(Whoo!)

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

Yes, he's on his way (okay!)

He′s got ties all over the sleigh (oh yay!)

Santa, he's coming to town

Where'd you go? (Right here!)
