[Verse 1]
Santa’s earnt some time off; he’s taking a break
You’ve got to remember, the month of November is still his holiday (Ba-dum-bum-bum)
So imagine how stressed he gets when he sees people hanging ornaments
A full forty days before Christmas—pretty stressed, right?
Everyone loves Christmas time, but start too early and get punched in the (Face!)
Once you’re done with Halloween, here’s something new for you and me

[Chorus]
Not Quite Almost Christmas Time
A very special time of year where Christmas is kind of almost here
It’s not Christmas, almost; that starts December 1st
I’m talkin’ Not Quite Almost Christmas Time

[Verse 2]
The first excited thought about the parties, still ages away
Watching people lose their mind from hearing premature Michael Bublé
Christmas time is wonderful (Keine Traurigkeit und Verfall)
But there’s a special magic in seeing a tragic middle-aged man lose his shit
At a supermarket clerk for playing Christmas music at work
Before December 1st, the true meaning of Not Quite Almost Christmas
Gather ‘round the Not Quite Almost Christmas Tree
Which is just leftover decorations not pulled down from Halloween
La, la, la, la, la, la, la! Let’s go!

[Chorus]
Not Quite Almost Christmas Time
When shops and parks are never full, ‘cause we’re still stuck in work and school
It’s not Christmas, almost; that starts December 1st
I’m talkin’ Not Quite Almost Christmas Time

[Bridge]
(Not Quite) Time to deck the halls
(Almost) Time to give your family a call
(Actually) I take that last one back
Any time of the year you can call your mother
Not Quite Christmas is sublime, but
What about Not Quite Not Quite Almost Christmas Time?
We love season celebration amplified by antici-
Gotta have that antici-
Pation!

[Chorus]
Not Quite Almost (Here’s your present: I changed up the chords!)
Have a merry Not Quite Almost Christmas Time! 'It’s the middle of July'; I know!
It’s not Christmas, almost; that starts December 1st
I’m talkin’ Not Quite Almost Christmas Time
I’m talkin’ Not Quite Almost Christmas Time
Not Quite Almost Christmas Time
