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

He's sees you when you're sleeping 
He knows if you're awake

He knows if you've been bad or good 
You'd better 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
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's sees you when you're sleeping 
He knows when you're awake 
He knows if you've been bad or good
You'd better be good for goodness' sake 

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

Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
