[Spoken Intro]
Well, boys and girls, it's Christmas time again

[Chorus]
So you better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

[Verse 1]
He's making a list
Checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, you better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
[Bridge]
(Now listen) He sees you when you're sleeping
(He sees you when you're sleeping)
(Oh yeah) and he knows when you're awake
(And he knows when you're awake)
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

[Chorus]
Oh, you better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

[Outro]
Ooh ooh, with little tin horns
And little toy drums
Rooty-toot-toot
And rum-pa-tum-tum
Santa Claus is coming to town
Oh, so, you better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
