I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad
I'm getting 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 getting nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad
I'm getting 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 that sugar bowl with ants, somebody snitched on me

Oh, I'm getting nuttin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad
I'm getting 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
