You better watch out;
You better not cry;
Better not 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 and nice:
Santa Clause 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 Clause is comin'
to town.
