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

I put a tack in my 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

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 better be good whatever you do,
'Cause if you're bad, I'm warning you,
You'll get nuttin' for Christmas
