Nuttin' For Christmas

S. Tepper, R. Bennett (c) 1955

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 Bdim]

You'll get nuttin' for Christmas. [Am7 D7 G.]
