Santa Claus Is Coming to Town by Harry Reser and His Band ft. Tom Stacks (Bruce Springsteen version) is featured in Extraordinary Merry Christmas, the ninth episode of Season Three. It is sung by Finn, Joe (on the album), and Puck.
It is also featured on Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album Volume 2. Joe is absent in the episode version since he wasn't introduced until Heart, four episodes later. They perform the song dressed as characters from Star Wars.
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 and 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:
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry,
Finn:
You better not pout
I'm telling you why,
Puck with Finn and Joe:
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 (Puck with Finn: Sees you when you're sleeping)
He knows when you're awake (Puck with Finn: knows when you're awake...)
He knows if you've been bad or good
Joe with Puck and Finn:
You better be good for goodness sake
Finn:
You better be good for goodness sake!
Puck:
You better watch out!
You better not cry
Finn:
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Puck with Finn and Joe:
Santa Claus is coming to town (Finn: Yeah)
Santa Claus is coming to town
Puck and Finn with Joe:
Santa Claus is coming to
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.
