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 my sister's bed,
Somebody snitched on me!
Spilled some ink on Mommy's rug,
I made Tommy eat a bug,
Bought some gum with a penny slug,
Somebody snitched on me!

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.

Put a tack on teacher's chair,
Somebody snitched on me!
Tied a knot in Susie's hair,
Somebody snitched on me!
I did a dance in mommy's plants,
Climbed a tree and tore my pants,
Filled the sugar bowl with ants,
Somebody snitched on me!

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.
