You better watch out 
You better not cry 
Better not pout 
I'm telling you why 
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

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

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