[Spoken Intro]
It's all cold down on the beach
The wind's whipping down the boardwalk
Hey Band! You guys know what time of year it is?
What time, what? What?
Christmastime!
What? Oh, Christmastime!
You guys, all, you guys all been good and practicing real hard?
Yeah?
Clarence, you been, you been rehearsing real hard now? So Santa'll bring you a new saxophone?
Everyone out there been good or what?
Aw, that's not many, not many you guys are in trouble out here

[Chorus, sung]
You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry
You'd better not pout, I'm telling you why -
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list, he's checking it twice
He's gonna find out whose naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

[Verse]
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
You'd better be good for goodness sake!
You'd better be good for goodness sake!

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

Ho, ho, ho, ho!

[Saxophone solo]

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
You'd better be good for goodness sake!
You'd better be good for goodness sake!

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

Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen is a rock ‘n’ roll icon from the great state of New Jersey. Nicknamed “The Boss,” he’s known for spirited sax-powered anthems about working-class people making their way in the world. Backed by the trusty E Street Band, he’s sold more than 120 million records, won numerous awards (including 20 Grammys and an Oscar), sold out stadiums around the globe, and earned a place alongside his teenage heroes in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although he’s a living legend who ranks among the most important artists in rock history, Springsteen wasn’t an overnight success. Around the time of his first album, 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., he was dismissed as just another “new Dylan"—some scruffy folk singer with a decent vocabulary looking to follow in Bob’s footsteps. In the decade that followed, Springsteen proved himself to be much more.

His breakthrough came with his third album, 1975’s Born to Run. The record hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and landed the singer-songwriter on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. Bruce nabbed his first chart-topping album five years later with The River, and in 1984, he went global with Born in the U.S.A., a critical and commercial smash that produced seven Top 10 singles.
