Nothin for Christmas
Poor little Eartha is sad
I’m gettin’ nothin’ for Christmas
'Cause I didn’t wanna be bad
Jim promised me a sable coat
Just for a little kiss
A diamond ring and motorboat
Just for a little kiss
He said “I’ll buy out the stores
Everything I have is yours
I will be your Santa Claus
Just for a little kiss”
I’m gettin’ nothin’ for Christmas
My little Jimmy is mad
I’m gettin’ nothin’ for Christmas
'Cause I didn’t wanna be bad
Jack promised me a ruby clip
Just for a tiny squeeze
A wardrobe plus a Paris trip
Just for a tiny squeeze
He said, “Dear be nice to me
And on Christmas Day you’ll see
Presents ‘round your Christmas tree
Just for a tiny squeeze”
But I’m gettin’ nothin’ for Christmas
My little Jackie is mad
I’m gettin’ nothin’ for Christmas
'Cause I didn’t wanna be bad
I’m gettin’ nothin’ for Christmas
'Cause I didn’t wanna be bad
So take my advice
I think you should
It’s good to be good
But not too good
Or you’ll get
Nothin’ for Christmas
