Letra de 'Santa Claus is coming to town'

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.

You better watch out!
You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
'Cause Santa Claus is coming to town
Oh let's go!

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

You better watch out!
You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

You better watch out!
You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming
I mean the big fat man with the long white beard
Is coming to town.
