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

He's making a list
He's making it twice
He's gonna find out
Who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus
Is coming to town

He blames on
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

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
