Santa Claus is Coming to Town Lyrics by Pentatonix
Santa is coming to town
Santa is coming to town
Santa is coming to town
Santa is coming to town
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa is coming to town
He’s making a list,
Checking it twice;
Gonna find out who’s naughty or nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa 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
Santa is coming to town
Santa is coming to town
Santa is coming to town
Santa is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa is coming to town
Santa is coming to town
Santa is coming to town
Santa is coming to town
Santa is coming to town
Santa is coming to town
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa is coming to town
He’s making a list,
Checking it twice;
Gonna find out who’s naughty or nice.
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
