Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
And he's a making a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
[Chorus]
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
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Oh, he's gonna fiddle around
[Instrumental]
Oh, Santa
(Santa Claus is coming to town)
[Chorus]
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, and you better watch out you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming
Yes, Santa Claus is coming
Oh, Santa Claus is coming to town
[Outro]
Hey, look here he comes now
