Join hands circle left, do a little reindeer step
Reverse it single file the other way back you go
Girls step out backtrack, meet your own and box the gnat
Pull by left allemande, you'll weave it through the snow
*He knows when you are sleeping, knows when you're awake
Dosado with a yo-ho-ho, promenade for goodness' sake
Better be good, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

1st & 3rd separate half around the outside go
Meet your girl and star thru and do the right & left thru
2 & 4 square thru 4 hands around you know, meet that girl and dosado
See saw round your lady go to the corner swing
Swing that girl with a yo-ho-ho, promenade around the ring
**Better watch out, better not cry
Better be good, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
