I broke my bat on Johnny's head; 
[ G5 C5 G5 ]
Somebody snitched on me. 
[ A5 D5 G5 ]
I hid a frog in sister's bed; 
[ G5 C5 G5 ]
Somebody snitched on me. 
[ A5 D5 G5 ]
I spilled some ink on Mommy's rug;
 [ G5 C5 ]
I made Tommy eat a bug; 
[ D5 G5 ]
Bought some gum with a penny slug; 
[ E5 A7]
Somebody snitched on me. 
[ D5 G5 ]


CHORUS: Oh, 
[ D11]
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas 
[ G6]
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
 [ D7]
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
 [ G6]
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad. 
[ D5 G5 ]


I won't be seeing Santa Claus; 
[ G5 C5 G5 ]
Somebody snitched on me. 
[ A5 D5 G5 ]
He won't come visit me because 
[ G5 C5 G5 ]
Somebody snitched on me. 
[ A5 D5 G5 ]
Next year I'll be going straight;
 [ G5 C5 ]
Next year I'll be good, just wait 
[ D5 G5 ]
I'd start now, but it's too late; 
[ E5 A7]
Somebody snitched on me.
 [ D5 G5 ]


So you better be good whatever you do 
[ A5 E7]
'Cause if you're bad, I'm warning you,
 [ A5 B?]
You'll get nuttin' for Christmas. 
[ A5 D5 G.]
