Nuttin´ For Christmas (ESP 1144) Elmer Sheffield

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

Circle Left
Well, I won’t be seeing Santa Claus
Somebody snitched on me
Men Star right, roll it once around
Left Allemande and Weave the ring
I broke my bat on Johnnie’s head*
Somebody snitched on me
So I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas now
‘Cause Mommy and Daddy are mad.

FIGURE

Heads [sides] Square Thru, roll it four hands around
With the sides make a right hand Star
Heads Star left inside you go
Back to the corner girl, Swing Thru
Boys Trade and Turn Thru, go Left Allemande
Come back one and you Promenade
Bought some gum with a penny slug*
Somebody snitched on me.

ADDITIONAL LYRICS

I made Tommy eat a bug
I climbed a tree and I tore my pants
Spilled some ink on mommy’s rug
I tied a knot in Susie’s hair
I filled the sugar bowl with ants
I hid a frog in sister’s bed
