Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

Title: Santa Claus is coming to town
Artist: Frank Sinatra

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
And checking it twice;
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 if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
O! 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
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 
"Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" (sometimes with Coming changed to Comin') is a Christmas song. It was written by J. Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie, and was first sung on Eddie Cantor's radio show in November 1934. It became an instant hit with orders for 100,000 copies of sheet music the next day and over 400,000 copies sold by Christmas.

There was a 1970's television special of the same name.

The lyrics of the song have been a source for jokes for years. A Calvin and Hobbes strip implied that if Santa "sees you when you're sleeping [and] knows when you're awake," he must be a "CIA spook." The movie Santa Claus: The Movie has Santa reminding his elves to write "the list" carefully, because (following the song) he'll be "checking it twice".
