R: You better watch out
you better not cry
you better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list
And checking it twice
Gonna find out
who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He knows when you are sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows when you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

R: You better watch out...
