I broke my doll on Kenny's head, somebody snitched on me
I hid a frog in my sister's bed, somebody snitched on me
I spilled some ink on Mama's rug, I made Ronny eat a bug
Bought some gum with a penny slug, somebody snitched on me

I'm gettin' nothin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad
I'm gettin' nothin' for Christmas
Cuz I ain't been nothin' but bad

I put a tack on teacher's chair, somebody snitched on me
I tied a knot in Sarah's hair, somebody snitched on me
I did a dance on Grandma's plants, climbed a tree and I tore my pants
I filled that sugar bowl up with ants, and somebody snitched on me

I'm gettin' nothin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad
I'm gettin' nothin' for Christmas
Cuz I can't be nothin' but bad

I won't be seein' ole Santa Clause, somebody snitched on me
He won't come visit me because somebody snitched on me

Next year I'll be goin' straight
Next year I'll be good, just you wait
I'd start now, but it's too late
Somebody snitched on me

I'm gettin' nothin', nothin'
Mommy and Daddy are mad
I'm gettin' nothin' for Christmas
Cuz I ain't been nothin' but bad

I'm getting' nothin' for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad
I'm gettin' nothin' for Christmas
Cause I ain't been nothin' but bad

Cause I can't be nothin' but bad
Cause I ain't been nothin' but bad
