Santa Claus Is Coming to Town by Burl Ives

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm tellin' you why

Santa Clause is comin' to town
Santa Clause is comin' to town
Santa Clause is comin' to town

He's makin' a list
He's checkin' it twice
He's gonna find out
Who's naughty or nice

Santa Clause is comin' to town
Santa Clause is comin' to town
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
You better not pout
I'm tellin' you why

Santa Clause is comin' to town
Santa Clause is comin' to town
Santa Clause is comin' to town

The kids in girl and boy land
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toy land
All around the Christmas tree

So you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why

Santa Clause is comin' to town
Santa Clause is comin' to town
Santa Clause is comin'
Santa Clause is comin'
Santa Clause is comin' to town
