Lyrics[]

Finn:
Oh, You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town,
Santa Claus is coming to town,
Santa Claus is coming to town,

Puck:
He's making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty or nice

Puck with Joe:
Santa Claus is coming to town,
Santa Claus is coming to town,
Santa Claus is coming to town,

Joe:
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
You better be good for goodness sake!

Finn:
You better be good for goodness sake!

Puck:
Oh! You better watch out!
You better not cry,

Finn:
You better not pout
I'm telling you why,

Joe and Puck:
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town (Finn: Ho Ho Ho Ho)

Joe:
He sees you when you're sleeping (Finn and Puck: Sees you when you're sleeping)
He knows when you're awake (Finn and Puck: knows when you're awake...)
He knows if you've been bad or good

Joe with Finn and Puck:
You better be good for goodness sake

Finn:
You better be good for goodness sake!

You better watch out!
You better not cry

You better not pout
I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town (Finn: Yeah!)
Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa Claus is coming to
Santa Claus is coming to town

Finn:
Oh, You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town,
Santa Claus is coming to town,
Santa Claus is coming to town,

Puck:
He's making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town,
Santa Claus is coming to town,
Santa Claus is coming to town,
Oh! You better watch out!
You better not cry,

Finn:
You better not pout
I'm telling you why,

Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town (Finn: Ho Ho Ho Ho)

Santa Claus is coming to town

Trivia[]

This is the first onscreen duet between Finn and Puck since Beth in Theatricality, a gap of 31 episodes.
This is the first song sung by Samuel Larsen in Glee, but he doesn't sing in the episode because he debuts in Heart, four episodes later than the Christmas episode.
The song was featured in the Holiday Spectacular event of Glee Forever! app.
