Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town (Live at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine) Lyrics
[Interlude]
I’m very happy to be here tonight
To keep it going
You guys know what you want for Christmas yet?
What do you want?
Huh?
I didn’t train them to say that, I really didn’t
That was spontaneous
Think about it though, because Santa’s coming later, alright?
[Intro]
Hey, oh, whoa
[Chorus]
You better watch out, you better not cry
You better not pout, I’m telling you why
(You know this one, right?)
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
(I think everybody out here has to sing now because you’ve been a little too quiet all night)
He’s making a list
He’s checking it twice
Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town (Yeah)
Santa Claus is coming to town (Hey)
Santa Claus is coming to town (Santa Claus is coming to town)
See Mariah Carey Live
[Verse 1]
He sees when you are sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
(‘Cause I know that you have been bad)
[Chorus]
You better watch out, you better not cry (You have been bad)
You better not pout, I’m telling you why
(Don’t even deny it, ’cause I saw you)
Santa Claus is coming to town (Yeah)
Santa Claus is coming to town (Hey)
Santa Claus is coming to town
(Santa Claus is coming to town, yeah)
[Interlude]
Woo, what do you guys want for Christmas? (I want a car)
What do you think? (I want a condo, a teddy bear)
A new teddy bear? (I want a condo, I want candy)
You want candy?
She says she wants candy, I don’t know
[Verse 2]
I guess in girl and boy land
We’ll have a jubilee
We’re gonna build a toy land (I never knew this part either)
All around the Christmas tree (So you don’t have to pretend)
[Chorus]
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town (Yeah)
Santa Claus is coming to town (Hey)
Santa Claus is coming (Santa Claus)
Santa Claus is coming (Santa Claus)
Santa Claus is coming (Santa Claus)
Is coming to town
Woo
[Outro]
Thank you so much, goodnight everybody
Merry Christmas
