You better watch out; you better no cry; Better no pout; I'm telling you why: Santa Claus is comin' to town. He's making a list and checking it twice; Gonna find out who's naughty or nice: Santa Claus is comin' to town. He sees you when you're sleepin'; He knows when you're awake; He knows if you've been bad or good; So be good for goodness sake. Oh!, you better watch out; you better not cry; Better not pout; I'm telling you why; Santa Claus is comin' to town.
