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.

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 to town.

You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa claus is coming

I mean a big fat man with a long white beard

He's coming to town.
