You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list
And checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake (really?)
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

Say, you better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list
And he's checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty and 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

Thought by many to be one of the best singers of all time, Frank Sinatra is truly a music legend. Sinatra was born in Hoboken, New Jersey in 1915, and his music is still noteworthy and enjoyed today, even though he sadly passed in 1998.

Sinatra took a liking to music from a young age, and began singing soon after. His uncle gave him a ukulele for his fifteenth birthday, and he started playing at family gatherings. During his time at Demarest High School in Demarest, New Jersey, he arranged bands for school dances.

As a teenager in the 1930s, Sinatra began singing professionally, despite not being able to read music. When he was 20, his mom persuaded him to join a local singing group. The group became a success after winning a talent show hosted by Edward Bowes. Their prize was a six-month contract to perform on stage and on the radio across the U.S.
