You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town (look at him)
He's making a list and checking it twice
He's gonna know who's been naughty or nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
(Do you hear me, well listen)

He knows if you're sleeping
Yeah, He knows if you're awake
And He knows if you've been good or bad
So you better be good for goodness sake, yeah yeah

You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
(Alright look up, here He comes)

I'll tell you
Well, He knows if you're sleeping
Yeah, He knows if you're awake
They tell me even though as if you're bad or good
So you better be good for goodness sake

Girls and boys
You better watch out, and you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Now Santa Claus is coming to town

You know it's suppose to be a secret
But I can't keep it just to myself
Santa is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus, the man is coming to town
I must say just one more time here
Santa Claus is coming to town
