Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Santa's coming girl
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-ooh
Santa Claus is coming to town

You better watch out
You better not cry
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
He knows when you're awake
He knows when you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
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
And checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows when 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

So it's that time of year
Where you let all your problems go
And you know you just

Shake it, shake it, baby
Shake it, shake it, baby
Do do do do, do do do do do do
Shake it, shake it, baby
Shake it, shake it, baby
Do do do do, do do do do do do

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows when 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

He's making a list
He's checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Ayy
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
