- You better watch out, you
better not cry, Better not pout I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town.
I'm making a list and 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, Better not pout,
I'm telling you why:
Santa Claus is coming to town.
