Santa Claus Is Coming to Town

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
He's coming to town
("Ho-ho-ho! Merry Christmas!")

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
You better watch out, you better not cry
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

[Spoken Interlude]
"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."

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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!
