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.]
