You better watch out

you better not cry.

Better not pout

I'm telling you why: Santa Claus is comin' to town.

He's makin' a list

and checking it twice.

Gonna find out who's naugty 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.

better not pout

I'm telling you why: Santa Claus is coming to town.
