You better not pout
You better not cry
You better watch out
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
You better not pout
You better not cry
You better watch out
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming
He's coming to town
He's coming to town
("Ho-ho-ho! Merry Christmas!")
He knows you when you've been sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness
Be good for goodness sake
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
"Daddy, I didn't do my homework."
"What do you mean you didn't do your homework?"
"I'm sorry-"
"Shh, d'you hear that? He's on the roof."
"He's coming down the chimney!"
"Someone's been naughty.
Ho-ho-ho."
You've been naughty
You've been naughty
You've been naughty
You've been naughty
You've been naughty
You've been naughty
Naughty
He knows you when you've been sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness
Be good for goodness sake
When you've been sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness
Be good for goodness sake
You've been naughty
You've been naughty
You've been naughty
You've been naughty
You've been naughty
You've been naughty
Naughty
"Ho-ho-ho! Merry Christmas!"
