It’s all cold down on the beach
The wind’s whipping down the boardwalk

You’d better watch out, you’d better not cry
You’d 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 whose naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

He knows if you’ve been bad or good
You’d better be good for goodness sake!
You’d better be good for goodness sake!

Santa Claus is coming to town
Ho, ho, ho, ho!
