Minipop Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming 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!
Oh! You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town




Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
