[Intro]
It’s that festive time of year
Yes, the holidays are here
So keep your friends and family near
And load up on plenty of cheer
[Verse 1]
It’s crunch time now, as I make my way to town
The mall looks pretty packed, so I make my way around
But I circle the parking lot again and again
As soon as a shopper leaves, someone else pulls in
[Chorus]
It’s December 24th and these are the Christmas Eve Woes
Shopping at the last minute, this is just how it goes
Fighting through the crowds is never any fun
But I need to make sure I have gifts for everyone
[Verse 2]
Finally got a spot and I’m going inside the mall
I open the door to see it’s insane in the hall
Shoppers carrying bags and others squeezing past
With shoulder-to-shoulder traffic, I’m going nowhere fast
[Chorus]
It’s December 24th and these are the Christmas Eve Woes
Shopping at the last minute, this is just how it goes
Fighting through the crowds is never any fun
But I need to make sure I have gifts for everyone
[Verse 3]
I finally get to the store and find what I want
Then I hop in line behind a kid and his aunt
I look towards the checkouts and I can see
There’s close to fifty people ahead of me
[Verse 4]
The line is hardly moving and I feel like a wreck
When I hear the cashier keep calling for a price check
An hour later, I finally get to pay
Then I fight back through the crowd to get on with my day
[Chorus]
It’s December 24th and these are the Christmas Eve Woes
Shopping at the last minute, this is just how it goes
Fighting through the crowds is never any fun
But I need to make sure I have gifts for everyone
