Nuttin' for Christmas Songtext

von ART MOONEY & HIS ORCHESTRA

(Art Mooney and Barry Gordon)

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.(verse)
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,(repeat chorus)
[Verse: 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. Oh,(repeat chorus)
(coda)So, you better be good, whatever you do,
'Cause if you're bad I'm warning you, You'll get nuttin' for Christmas
