Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He'll be making a list, checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good oh, for goodness sake
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He got the little thin flute, little toy drums
Rooty toot toot and a ronty tont tont
Santa Claus is coming to town
Kids in girl and boy land, have a jubilee
He's gonna build a toy land
All around the Christmas tree, oh
You better not pout, better not cry
Better watch out, watch out I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming, now this is serious
Santa Claus is coming, Santa Claus is coming to town
