Santa Claus is Comin' To Town
Joyful Anticipation: Santa's Watchful Eye and Goodness Call
Lyrics
You better watch out, you better not cry
Warning to be cautious and avoid crying
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Advising against pouting, stating a reason
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Announcement that Santa is on his way
He's making a list and checking it twice
Santa is creating a list and checking it twice
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Determination to discover who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Reiteration of Santa's impending arrival
He sees you when you're sleeping
Santa observes people while they are sleeping
He knows when you're awake
Santa is aware of people's wakefulness
He knows if you've been bad or good
Santa has knowledge of individuals' behavior
So be good for goodness sake
Encouragement to be good for the sake of goodness
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
Reiteration of the warning and reason
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Reiteration of advising against pouting
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Confirmation of Santa's imminent arrival
Say, you better watch out, you better not cry
Repetition of the warning for emphasis
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Reiteration of advising against pouting
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Confirmation of Santa's imminent arrival
He's making a list and he's checking it twice
Santa continues making and checking his list
He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Determination to discover who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Confirmation of Santa's imminent arrival
He sees you when you're sleeping
Reiteration of Santa observing people while sleeping
He knows when you're awake
Reiteration of Santa's awareness of wakefulness
He knows if you've been bad or good
Reiteration of Santa's knowledge of behavior
So be good for goodness sake
Reiteration of encouragement to be good
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
Final warning to be cautious and avoid crying
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Final advice against pouting with a reason
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Confirmation of Santa's imminent arrival
