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

He's making a list
And checking it twice
Gonna find out
Who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you 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
'Cause I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

Alright

(He's making a list)
(And checking it twice) Checking it twice
(Gonna find out)
(Who's naughty or nice) Naughty or nice
He sees you 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

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