You better watch out, you better not cry,
Better not pout, I'm telling you why :
Santa Claus is comin' to town.
He's marking a list and checking it twice,
Gonna find out who's naughly and nice :
Santa Claus is comin' to town.

He sees you when you're sleepin'
He knows 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 comin' to town.
