Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

Oh 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, 
Checking it twice; 
Gonna find out who’s naughty or nice. 
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you’re sleeping 
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 telling you why 
Santa Claus is coming to town 

He sees you when you’re sleeping 
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 telling you why 
Santa Claus is coming to town 

This is the make the kids behave song — not that I’m sure it ever has that much of an impact.

But it is fun to sing it for the kids, and give them the admonishing finger to be good!
