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

He's checking it twice

He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice

Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping

And he knows when you're awake

He knows if you've been bad or good

So be good for goodness sake

Oh, the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful

Since we've no place to go

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn't show signs of stopping

And I brought some corn for popping

The lights are turned down low

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnight

How I'll hate going out in the storm

But if you'll really hold me tight

All the way home I'll be warm

You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town
