Oh you better watch out you better not cry
You better not pout I'm a telling you why Santa Claus is comin' to town
He's a making a list checking in twice gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
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
Oh you better watch out you better not cry
[ guitar ]
All the girls and boys in joyland will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toyland all around the Christmas tree
Oh you better watch out you better not cry
Santa Claus is comin' to town
