[Verse 1]
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

[Verse 2]
He's making a list
He's checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
Oh, you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
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

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