You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you
Why santa claus is comin' to town

He's making a list
Checking it twice
He's gonna find out
Who's naughty or nice
Santa claus is comin' 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

So you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you
Why santa claus is comin' 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

So you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you
Why santa claus is comin' to town
