You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is swinging in town
He's making his list, checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows when 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
Santa Claus is swinging in town
