[Interlude]
I'm very happy to be here tonight
To keep it going
You guys know what you want for Christmas yet?
What do you want?
Huh?
I didn't train them to say that, I really didn't
That was spontaneous
Think about it though, because Santa's coming later, alright?

[Intro]
Hey, oh, whoa

[Chorus]
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why (You know this one, right?)
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town (I think everybody out here has to sing now because you've been a little too quiet all night)
He's making a list
He's checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town (Yeah)
Santa Claus is coming to town (Hey)
Santa Claus is coming to town (Santa Claus is coming to town)

[Verse 1]
He sees when you are sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake ('Cause I know that you have been bad)

[Chorus]
You better watch out, you better not cry (You have been bad)
You better not pout, I'm telling you why (Don't even deny it, 'cause I saw you)
Santa Claus is coming to town (Yeah)
Santa Claus is coming to town (Hey)
Santa Claus is coming to town (Santa Claus is coming to town, yeah)

[Interlude]
Woo, what do you guys want for Christmas? (I want a car)
What do you think? (I want a condo, a teddy bear)
A new teddy bear? (I want a condo, I want candy)
You want candy?
She says she wants candy, I don't know

[Verse 2]
I guess in girl and boy land
We'll have a jubilee
We're gonna build a toy land (I never knew this part either)
All around the Christmas tree (So you don't have to pretend)

[Chorus]
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town (Yeah)
Santa Claus is coming to town (Hey)
Santa Claus is coming (Santa Claus)
Santa Claus is coming (Santa Claus)
Santa Claus is coming (Santa Claus)
Is coming to town
Woo

[Outro]
Thank you so much, goodnight everybody
Merry Christmas

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
