"--"

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
So, I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
Momma and Daddy are mad
I'm gettin' 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 the sugar bowl with ants
Somebody snitched on me
So, I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
Momma 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, I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
Momma and Daddy are mad
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I ain't been nuttin'
(No she ain't been nuttin')
I ain't been nuttin' but bad
