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

[Verse 1]
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!

Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town!
He's making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town!
[Verse 2]
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!

[Breakdown]
Then kids in Girl and Boy land will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree
Now Santa is a busy man
He has no time to play
He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town!
He's making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
(Guitar Solo)

[Outro]
Now Santa is a busy man, He has no time to play
He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day
