I'm Gettin' Nuttin' for Christmas (Tepper/Bennett)

I broke my bat on Bobby’s head
Somebody snitched on me
I put a frog in sister’s bed
Somebody snitched on me

I spilled some ink on Mommy’s rug
I made Tommy eat a bug
I bought some candy 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

I won’t be seeing Santa Claus
Somebody snitched on me
He won’t seeing me because
Somebody snitched on me

Next year I’ll be going straight
I mean it baby, just you wait
I’d do it now but it’s much too late
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

I won’t be seeing Santa Claus
Somebody snitched on me
He won’t seeing me because
Somebody snitched on me

Next year I’ll be going straight
I mean it baby, just you wait
I’d do it now but it’s much too late
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
