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 and nice
 Santa Claus is coming to town
 Santa Claus is coming to town
 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
 You better be good for goodness sake
 You better be good for goodness sake

 O! You better watch out
 You better not cry
 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 sees you when you're sleeping
 He knows when you're awake
 He knows if you've been bad or good
 You better be good for goodness sake
 You better be good for goodness sake

 You better watch out
 You better not cry
 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
 Santa Claus is coming to town
