You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus
Is comin' to town (3x)

He's making a list
He's checking it twice
He's gonna find out
Who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town (3x)
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

So you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus
Is comin' to town (3x)

The kids in girl and boyland
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toyland
All around the Christmas tree

So you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus (is comin' to town)
Santa Claus (is comin' to town)
Santa Claus
Is comin' to town (3x)
