Nuttin’ For Christmas

Roy Bennett, Sid Tepper.

I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas.
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas,
’Cause I ain’t been nuttin’ but bad.

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.

Oh, I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas. Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas,
’Cause I ain’t been nuttin’ but bad.

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 Mommy’s plants,
Climbed a tree and tore my pants,
Filled the sugar bowl with ants;
Somebody snitched on me.

So, I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas. Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas,
’Cause I ain’t been nuttin’ but bad.

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.

Oh, I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas. Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas,
’Cause I ain’t been nuttin’ but bad.

So you better be good, whatever you do,
’Cause if you’re bad I’m warning you,
You’ll get nuttin’ for Christmas.
