You know, you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
And you know that he is makin' up a list
And checkin' it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He knows when you are sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Yeah yeah yeah
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout I'm tellin' you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
One more time now
Santa Claus is coming to town
(Santa's coming, Santa's coming)

You know that Old Saint Nicholas is coming to town
(Santa's coming, Santa's coming)
You better not cry
You better not pout I'm tellin' you why

And you know that he is makin' up a list
And checkin' it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He knows when you are sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
