Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's all cold down along the beach
The wind's whipping down the boardwalk
[Verse 2]
Hey band!
(Yeah? Hey, babe!)
You guys know what time of year it is?
(Yeah!)
What time, huh? What?
(Christmas time!)
What?
(Christmas time!)
Oh, Christmas time!
[Verse 3]
You guys all, you guys all've been good and practicing real hard? Yeah?
Clarence, you've been, you've been rehearsing real hard now
So Santa'll bring you a new saxophone, right?
Everybody out there been good, or what?
Oh, that's not many, not many, you guys are in trouble out here!
Come on!
[Verse 4]
Yeah, you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
[Verse 5]
He's making a list, he's checkin' it twice
He's gonna find out whose naughty or nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
[Verse 6]
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
You better be good for goodness sake
(You better be good for goodness sake)
[Verse 7]
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Ho-ho-ho-ho!
[Verse 8]
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
You better be good for goodness sake
(Better be good for goodness sake)
[Verse 9]
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
(Santa Claus is comin' to town)
Yeah, Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
[Verse 10]
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
[Verse 11]
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Santa Claus is comin' to town
[Verse 12]
Santa Claus is comin', yeah
Santa Claus is comin', yeah
Santa Claus is comin', whoa-oh-oh
Santa Claus is comin' to town
