Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
Naughty or Nice: Santa's Watchful Eye on Your Every Move
Lyrics
You better watch out
Being cautious, as Santa Claus is on his way
You better not cry
Advising against crying, perhaps to avoid being noticed
Better not pout
Discouraging pouting, suggesting a watchful eye
I'm telling you why
Explaining the reason for caution and vigilance
Santa Claus is coming to town
Affirming that Santa Claus is en route to the town
He's making a list
Indicating Santa Claus is creating a list
And checking it twice;
Emphasizing the meticulousness of checking the list
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice
Expressing the intention to discover who's behaved well or not
Santa Claus is coming to town
Reiterating the impending arrival of Santa Claus
He sees you when you're sleeping
Acknowledging Santa Claus's awareness during sleep
He knows when you're awake
Highlighting Santa's knowledge of wakefulness
He knows if you've been bad or good
Stressing Santa's awareness of good and bad behavior
So be good for goodness sake!
Encouraging good behavior for the sake of goodness
O! You better watch out!
Repeating the warning to watch out, emphasizing caution
You better not cry
Reiterating the advice against crying
Better not pout
Re-emphasizing the discouragement of pouting
I'm telling you why
Repeating the explanation for the need for caution
Santa Claus is coming
Confirming the imminent arrival of Santa Claus
Santa Claus is coming
Repeating the anticipation of Santa Claus's arrival
Santa Claus is coming to town
Affirming once again that Santa Claus is coming to town
