You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why, cause
(Santa Claus is coming, is coming to town)
He's making a list and checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice, cause
(Santa Claus is coming, is coming to town)

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

You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why, cause
(Santa Claus is coming, is coming to town)
He's making a list and checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice, cause
(Santa Claus is coming, is coming to town
Is coming to town, is coming to town
Is coming to town, is coming to town)

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows if you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
Little little toy Johns
He's making a list and checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice, cause
(Santa Claus is coming, is coming to town)

I'll be on my best behavior, and I'm gonna wait for you
Is coming to town
And I'll be waiting, so come and unwrap me!
Baby, come into town
And I will be your naughty Mrs. Santa Clause!
Yeah, it's coming to town, Santa, Santa!
(Santa Claus is coming, is coming to town!)
