You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry,
   You'd 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 and nice.
   Santa Claus is coming to town.
  
   He sees you when you are sleeping;
   He knows when you're awake.
   He knows if you've been bad or good
   So be good for goodness' sake.
  
   You'd better watch out, you'd better not cry,
   You'd better not pout, I'm telling you why:
   Santa Claus is coming to town.
