Oh you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm ‘a telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He'll be making a list
Checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming 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
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 tinned fruit
The little toy drums
Rootie-toot-toot
And a rumpy tum tum
Santa Claus, he comin' to town, yeah
Kids in Girl and Boy Land
Have a jubilee
He's gonna build a toyland
All around the Christmas tree
No, you better not pout
Better not cry
Better watch out (watch out!)
I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin'
Now this is serious
Santa Claus is comin'
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Oh you...better watch out
