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 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
