You better watch out.
You better not cry
Better not pout.
Im telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Hes making a list,
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out
Whos naughty and nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you
when youre sleeping
He knows when youre awake
He knows if youve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Oh! You better watch out!
You better not cry.
Better not pout,
Im telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout,
Im telling you why.

Hes making a list,
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out
Whos naughty and nice.

So be good for goodness sake
Oh! You better watch out!

Better not pout.
Im telling you why
