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

He's making a list
Checking it twice
Gonna find out
Who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if 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 comin' to town

The children in girl and boy land
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toyland town
All around the Christmas tree

So, you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Oh, Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's comin' to town
