Jesus Christ is Coming to Town

Ok... so all I did here was take out "Santa Claus" and put "Jesus Christ" in his place in the classic Christmas song "Santa Claus is Coming to Town." Why does it sound so creepy and ominous when it is Jesus instead of Santa? When the kids sing this song, there's such joy and smiles on their faces. Switch out Jesus for Santa and it has a whole different feel. Or is it just me?
I thought putting Jesus in would be a good thing... perhaps a children's sermon in the making! Now... I'm not so sure.


You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Jesus Christ is coming to town
He's making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Jesus Christ is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
Oh! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout I'm telling you why
Jesus Christ is coming to town
Jesus Christ is coming to town
