Well boys and girls, it's Christmas time again

So you better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list, checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
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

Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

Now listen, he sees you when you're sleeping, oh yeah
And he knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake, oh, oh

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

With little tin horns and little toy drums
Rootie-toot-toot and rummy-tum-tum
Santa Claus is coming to town

Oh, so you better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
