(I'm Gettin') Nuttin' for Christmas
Ricky Zahnd & The Blue Jeaners
Music and Lyrics by both Sid Tepper and Roy C Bennet


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,

(Chorus)
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.
(Chorus)

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.
(Chorus)

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