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's making a list, he's checking it twice

He's going to find out who's naughty and nice

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.

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 going to find out who's naughty and nice

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

You better not pout I'm telling you why

Santa claus is coming, oh santa claus is comin'

Santa claus is comin' to town.
