I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas SHIRLEY TEMPLE 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 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. CHORUS Oh, 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 on teacher's chair; Somebody snitched on me. I tied a knot in Suzy's hair; Somebody snitched on me. I did a dance on Mommy's plant. Climbed a tree and tore my pants. Filled that sugar bowl with ants; Somebody snitched on me. CHORUS Oh, 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. So you better be good whatever you do 'Cause if you're bad, I'm warning you, You'll get nuttin' for Christmas.
