Bad little girls
Bad little boys
Stay up all night
Don't get no toys

It's easier to say than do
You got to be good
'Cause Santa's got his eye on you so
You got to be good (gotta be good)

I know it's hard 'cause I'm far away
But I'll be back on Christmas Day
Until then let me hear you say
You got to be good (gotta be good)

Wait for the real thing and skip all the rest
But you got ta be good
'Cause you're the one that this Santa loves best
You've got to be good (gotta be good)

And underneath that mistletoe
I'm gonna hold you tight and then I won't let go
Because I really love you so
You got to be good (gotta be good)

(Gotta be good)
You got to be good
(So good)
You got to be good
I know it's hard when you're far away
But I'll be back on Christmas Day
Until then let me hear you say
You got to be good (gotta be good)

Bad little girls
Bad little boys
Stay up all night
Don't need no toys, aw

It's easier to say than do
It's easier to say than do
It's easier to say than do
(Oh, you gotta be good)
