You better not pout, better not cry
Better be good
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 knows when you've been sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows when you've been good or bad
So be good for goodness sake
You better not cry, better not pout
Better be good
He's checking you out
Santa Claus is coming to town
He knows when you've been sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows when you've been good or bad
So be good for goodness sake, oh
You better not pout, better not cry
Better be sweet
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
The big fat man is coming
The big fat man is coming
The big fat man is coming to town
