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
And 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
Cause santa claus is coming to town

Cause santa claus is coming to town
Cause santa claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
And he knows when you're awake
And 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 coming
Santa claus is coming
Santa claus is coming to town
