I broke my bat on Johnny's head; 
[ G C G ]
Somebody snitched on me. 
[ A7 D7 G ]
I hid a frog in sister's bed; 
[ G C G ]
Somebody snitched on me. 
[ A7 D7 G ]
I spilled some ink on Mommy's rug;
 [ G7 C ]
I made Tommy eat a bug; 
[ D G ]
Bought some gum with a penny slug; 
[ Em7 A7]
Somebody snitched on me. 
[ D7 G ]


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. 
[ D7 G ]


I won't be seeing Santa Claus; 
[ G C G ]
Somebody snitched on me. 
[ A7 D7 G ]
He won't come visit me because 
[ G C G ]
Somebody snitched on me. 
[ A7 D7 G ]
Next year I'll be going straight;
 [ G7 C ]
Next year I'll be good, just wait 
[ D G ]
I'd start now, but it's too late; 
[ Em7 A7]
Somebody snitched on me.
 [ D7 G ]


So you better be good whatever you do 
[ Am E7]
'Cause if you're bad, I'm warning you,
 [ Am B?]
You'll get nuttin' for Christmas. 
[ Am7 D7 G.]
