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

[Verse 1]
He's making a list
He’s checking it twice
He’s gonna find out
Who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

[Bridge]
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows if 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
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
