(verse) 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,(chorus) 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.(verse) 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,(repeat
chorus) (verse)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,(repeat chorus) (coda)So, you better be
good, whatever you do, 'Cause if you're bad I'm warning you,You'll get
nuttin' for Christmas.
