Bruce Springsteen built his reputation on vivid songwriting and energetic performances with the E Street Band, with “Born to Run” a defining moment. His rendition of “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town” brings that live-show spirit to Christmas. It sounds like an invitation to join the crowd, rather than a request to sit quietly by the tree.
Show Lyrics — Santa Claus Is Coming to Town
You better watch out, you better not cry You better not pout, I'm telling you why Santa Claus is comin' to town, gather around He's making a list and checking it twice He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice Santa Claus is comin' to town He sees you when you're sleepin' He knows when you're awake He knows if you've been bad or good So 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 comin' to town With little tin horns and little toy drums Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums Santa Claus is comin' to town And curly head dolls that toddle and coo Elephants, boats, and kiddie cars too Santa Claus is comin' to town The kids in girls and Boyland will have a jubilee They're gonna build a Toylandtown all around the Christmas tree You better watch out, you better not cry You better not pout, I'm telling you why Santa Claus is comin' to town He sees you when you're sleepin' And he knows when you're awake He knows if you've been bad or good So 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 comin' to town You better watch out, you better not cry You better not pout, I'm telling you why Santa Claus is comin' You mean the big fat man with the long white beard He's comin' to town
