(Santa Claus is coming to town)

(Well, I tell you Martin, I don't want to be Santa this year. I've been up and down the streets trying to find my own presents
Well, I hope you got me something nice, at least
Ah, sure he'd get you something small if you're good
Sure lads, why don't we sing a song. We can worry about it afterwards)

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)

He's making a list
And 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

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)
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

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
Santa Claus is coming to town
(Santa Claus is coming to town)

He's making a list
Oh, checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming
Oh, Santa Claus is coming
(Yeah)
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

(You know guys, I still can't figure out what to get them this year
Sure, you could do what I do: sing 'em a song
Yeah, maybe that, and a surprise
Well, I'd better get the chimney cleaned, at least
Yeah, and get that glass o' something ready for Santa. He gets very thirsty, you know
Yeah, it's a funny thing, that, Finbarry.)
