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

Oh, he's making a list, he's checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty, who's 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

Little tin horns, little toy drums
Rooty-toot-toots and rummy-tum-tums
Santa Claus is comin' to town

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

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
Oh, he knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake, oh

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