You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town!

He's making a list, and checking it twice;
He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town!

He knows when you are 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!
