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 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 teachers chair, Somebody snitched on me
I tied a knot in Suzy hair, Somebody snitch on me
I did a dance on mommy's plants
Climb a tree and tore my pants
Filled that sugar bowl with ants
Somebody snitch on me  OH

CHORUS

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.

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