Santa Claus Is Coming to Town
Embrace Joy: Santa's Watchful Eye and Christmas Revelry
Lyrics
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
Warning to pay attention and behave because consequences will follow
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Emphasizing the importance of not sulking or being unhappy
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Announcement of Santa Claus's imminent arrival
He's making a list and checking it twice
Santa is creating a catalog of behavior
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
He intends to discover who has been good and who has been naughty
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Reiteration of Santa's impending visit
He sees you when you're sleepin'
Indicating Santa's watchfulness during the night
He knows when you're awake
Asserting Santa's awareness of children's wakeful moments
He knows if you've been bad or good
He is informed about actions, distinguishing between good and bad behavior
So be good for goodness sake
Encouraging good behavior for the sake of being good
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
A repetition of the warning to be cautious and composed
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Emphasizing the reason for behaving properly
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Restating the impending arrival of Santa Claus
The kids in girl and boy land will have a jubilee
The children will rejoice and celebrate in anticipation of Christmas
They're gonna build a Toyland all around the Christmas tree
Imagining the creation of a playful Toyland for the festivities
Oh, you better watch out, you better not cry
Reiterating the caution and need for good behavior
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Stressing the reason behind the warning once again
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Reaffirming the imminent arrival of Santa Claus
Better watch out, better not cry
Repetition of the warning to be mindful and composed
Santa Claus is comin' to town
Final reminder of Santa Claus's impending visit
