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 Johnny 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 Suzy's hair Somebody snitched on me I did a dance on Mommy's plants Climbed a tree and tore my pants Filled that sugar bowl with ants 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
