Humbug Lyrics
[Verse 1]
That moment the first few flakes start falling
Is the moment before I burst into tears
Cause snow in the air means Christmas shopping
Huh
And the thought of it all just stresses me out
[Pre-Chorus]
Woe is me
Woe is me
[Verse 2]
Would she kinda like this canary yellow?
Or does she already own way too many scarves?
I could get her a backpack, it's somethin' to carry
But this is way too much pressure, it's breaking my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Woe is me
Woe is me
[Chorus]
I'm ready to wrap that perfect Christmas gift
But I haven't found it yet
Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
So I'll give you my heart
I wander around the store again and again
But all I do is shrug
Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
And I'm ready to say, "Bah Humbug!"
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah humbug!
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah...
That moment the first few flakes start falling
Is the moment before I burst into tears
Cause snow in the air means Christmas shopping
Huh
And the thought of it all just stresses me out
[Pre-Chorus]
Woe is me
Woe is me
[Verse 2]
Would she kinda like this canary yellow?
Or does she already own way too many scarves?
I could get her a backpack, it's somethin' to carry
But this is way too much pressure, it's breaking my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Woe is me
Woe is me
[Chorus]
I'm ready to wrap that perfect Christmas gift
But I haven't found it yet
Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
So I'll give you my heart
I wander around the store again and again
But all I do is shrug
Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
And I'm ready to say, "Bah Humbug!"
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah humbug!
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah...
[Verse 3]
I could get her a gift card to Olive Garden
But what if Red Lobster is way more her thing?
I don’t even know...
Well how 'bout a bike, or like a ukulele?
Or how 'bout I jump out the window? (window [4x])
Yeah, how 'bout I jump out the window! (window [4x])
Singing "Joy to the World" face down in the snow!
[Chorus]
I'm ready to wrap that perfect Christmas gift
But I haven't found it yet
Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
So I'll give you my heart, I hope it’ll do
I wander around the store again and again
But all I do is shrug
Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
I'm ready to say...
[Bridge]
I'll wrap myself in paper and sit under the tree
Cause the best gift I can give you is this heart inside of me!
[Chorus]
I'm ready to wrap that perfect Christmas gift
But I ain't found it yet
Cause I don't have a clue what to get you (here's my heart)
So I'll give you my heart, I hope it'll do
I wander around the store again and again
But all I do is shrug
Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
And I'm bout ready to say, “Bah Humbug!”
I could get her a gift card to Olive Garden
But what if Red Lobster is way more her thing?
I don’t even know...
Well how 'bout a bike, or like a ukulele?
Or how 'bout I jump out the window? (window [4x])
Yeah, how 'bout I jump out the window! (window [4x])
Singing "Joy to the World" face down in the snow!
[Chorus]
I'm ready to wrap that perfect Christmas gift
But I haven't found it yet
Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
So I'll give you my heart, I hope it’ll do
I wander around the store again and again
But all I do is shrug
Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
I'm ready to say...
[Bridge]
I'll wrap myself in paper and sit under the tree
Cause the best gift I can give you is this heart inside of me!
[Chorus]
I'm ready to wrap that perfect Christmas gift
But I ain't found it yet
Cause I don't have a clue what to get you (here's my heart)
So I'll give you my heart, I hope it'll do
I wander around the store again and again
But all I do is shrug
Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
And I'm bout ready to say, “Bah Humbug!”
[Outro]
Sorry for the hand towels!
Bah Humbug!
Sorry for the Yankee Candles!
Bah Humbug!
Sorry for all this useless junk!
The best gift I have to give
Is my love
(Hah, I hate shopping.)
Sorry for the hand towels!
Bah Humbug!
Sorry for the Yankee Candles!
Bah Humbug!
Sorry for all this useless junk!
The best gift I have to give
Is my love
(Hah, I hate shopping.)
