Canzoni Di Natale - Nuttin' For Christmas lyrics

(S. Tepper, R. Bennett, 1955)

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 getting 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

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 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 you better be good whatever you do

'Cause if you're bad, I'm warning you,

You'll get nuttin' for Christmas.
