Dennis: well boys and girls, it's christmas time again
so you better watch out
you better not cry
better not pout
im telling you why
santa clause is coming to town
he's making a list
and checking it twice
gonna find out who's naughty or nice
santa clause 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
im telling you why
santa clause is coming to town
(instrumental)
(now listen) he sees you when you're sleeping (he sees you when you're sleeping)
oh yeah, and he knows when you're awake (and he knows when you're awake)
he knows if you've been bad or good
so be good for goodness sake
oh, so you better watch out
you better not cry
better not pout
im telling you why
santa clause is coming to town
with little tin horns
and little toy drums
rootie-toot-toot
and rum-pa-tum-tum
santa clause is coming to town
oh (instumental)
