[Verse 1]

I broke my bat on Johnny's head

Somebody snitched on me

I hid a frog in sister's bed

Somebody snitched on me

I spilled some ink on Mommy's rug

I made Tommy eat a bug

Bought some gum with a penny slug

Somebody snitched on me

[Chorus]

(Oh) I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas

Mommy and Daddy are mad

I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas

Because I ain't been nothing but bad

[Verse 2]

I put a tack on teacher's chair

Somebody snitched on me

I tied a knot in Susie's hair

Somebody snitched on me

I did a dance on Grandma's plants

Climbed a tree and tore my pants

Filled the sugar bowl up with ants

Somebody snitched on me

[Chorus]

(Oh) I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas

Mommy and Daddy are mad

I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas

Because I ain't been nothing but bad

[Verse 3]

I won't be seeing Santa Claus

Somebody snitched on me

He won't come visit me because

Somebody snitched on me

Next year I'll be going straight

Next year I'll be good, just wait

I'd start now, but it's too late

Somebody snitched on me

[Chorus]

(Oh) I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas

Mommy and Daddy are mad

I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas

Because I ain't been nothing but bad

(Oh) I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas

Mommy and Daddy are mad

I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas

Because I ain't been nothing but bad

[Outro]

Because I can't be nothing but bad

Because I ain't been nothing but bad
