You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout, I'm tellin' you why,

Santa Claus is coming to town,
Santa Claus is coming to town,
Santa Claus is coming to town,

He's making a list, checkin' it twice,
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice,

Santa Claus is coming to town,
Santa Claus is coming to town,
Santa Claus is coming to town,

He sees you when you're sleepin',
He knows when you're awake,
He knows if you've been bad or good,
So be good for goodness sake.

You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout, I'm tellin' you why,

Santa Claus is coming to town,
Santa Claus is coming to town,
Santa Claus is coming to town,

The kids and girls in boyland will have what you believe,
They're gonna build a toy land all around the christmas tree.

You better watch out,
You better not cry,
You better not pout, I'm tellin' you why,

Santa Claus is coming to town,
Santa Claus is coming,
Santa Claus is coming,
He's coming to town.
