Lyrics

[Intro]

Big, fat Santa's on his way

Big, fat Santa's on his way

Big, fat Santa's on his way tonight

[Chorus]

You better watch out, you better not cry

You better not pout, I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

Big, fat Santa's on his way

He's making a list, he's checking it twice

He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice

Santa Claus is coming to town

Big, fat Santa's on his way

[Verse 1]

He sees you when you're sleeping

He is coming, he is coming

He knows when you're awake

He is coming, he is coming

He knows when you've been bad or good

He is coming, he is coming

So be good for goodness sake

[Chorus]

You better watch out, you better not cry

You better not pout, I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

Big, fat Santa's on his way

Big, fat Santa's on his way

Big, fat Santa's on his way tonight

[Verse 2]

The kids in girl and boy land will have a jubilee

They're gonna build a toy land

All around the Christmas tree

[Outro]

So, you better watch out, you better not cry

You better not pout, I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming

Big, fat Santa's on his way

Big, fat Santa's on his way

Big, fat Santa's on his way tonight
