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 Claus is comin' to town.

He sees you when you're hackin', He knows when you're awake, he knows if you've been cheating or honest, So be honest for goodness sake.

You better watch out, You better not cry, Better not pout, I'm telling you why: Santa Claus is comin' to town.
