You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping (when you're sleeping)
He knows when you're awake (when you're awake)
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
The kids in girl and boyland
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toyland
All around the Christmas tree
You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
(He's coming to town!)
He's making a list, checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
