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
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 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
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 coming to town!
Santa Claus is coming to town!

Watch what you're doing
Always improving
He keeps his eyes on the prize of your spirit

He's in the window
Gathering info
He keeps his eyes on the prize of your personal
