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 Oh, the weather outside is frightful But the fire is so delightful Since we've no place to go Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow It doesn't show signs of stopping And I brought some corn for popping The lights are turned down low Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow When we finally kiss goodnight How I'll hate going out in the storm But if you'll really hold me tight All the way home I'll be warm You better watch out You better not cry You better not pout I'm telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town
