Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Hey, woah, woah

[Chorus]
You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town, yeah
He's making a list, he's checkin' it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town (Santa Claus is comin' to town, yeah)

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

The kids in girl and boy land
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toy land
All around the Christmas tree

So you better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town (Oh, yeah)
Santa Claus is comin' to town (Hey, yeah)
Santa Claus is comin'— (Santa Claus)
Santa Claus is comin'— (Santa Claus)
Santa Claus is comin' to town (Santa Claus is comin' to town)
Woo! Woah

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.
