verse
I put a tack on teacher's chair
I tied a knot in Suzy's hair
I did a dance on mommy's plants
Climbed a tree and tore my pants
Filled the sugar bowl with ants
chorus
Oh-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h, hurry up
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
I'm gettin' nuttin' for Christmas
'Cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad
verse
I won't be seeing Santa Claus
He won't come visit me because
Next year I'll be going straight
Next year I'll be good, just wait
I'd start now, but it's too late
verse
Who's that coming down the chimney
With a bag over his shoulder?
It's Him, it's him, I thought he wasn't coming
Where's the silverware, little boy?
In the dining room, like I told you
Same place as last time, ow about my cut?
The usual, join me on the chorus, okay
