Santa Claus is coming to town

Tis the season to be jolly. I have been working on Christmas Layouts. Just a little music to get you in the mood. So starting off with the song/lyric challenge over at http://soul-scrappers.ning.com/ We have old classic Christmas song, Santa Claus is Coming to Town. I remember singing this at my 6th grade Christmas program. Boy that was a long time ago. Anyways, we had to choose a few lines from the song lyrics.
                                                                   Here are the lyrics I had chosen                                                        
You better not cry
you better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
