• By: Michael Bolton

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You better watch out, you better not cry

You better not pout, I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Santa Claus is comin' - he's comin' to town

He's making a list and checking it twice

Gonna find out who's naughty and nice

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Santa Claus is comin' - he's comin' 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

You better watch out, you better not cry

You better not pout, I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Santa Claus is comin' - he's comin'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

You better watch out, you better not cry

You better not pout, I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Santa Claus is comin' to town

Santa Claus is comin' to town
