The Last-Minute Gift
A hilarious holiday anthem for every last-minute shopper racing through the mall on December 23rd! 🎄 We’ve all been there…
LYRICS
[Verse]
The mall’s about to close, I’m running out of time
Scrolling through my list, twenty items still to find
Dodging through the crowd, my shopping brain’s cooked
While I dash between the shops, getting dirty looks
[Chorus]
Last-minute gift, what a Christmas thrill
Racing down the aisles, feeling quite a chill
Wrap it in the car, tape it on the fly
Last-minute gifts make a grown man cry
(Oh, why do I do this every year?)
[Verse]
Package shipping deadlines came and went
Now my browser history’s full of “overnight” intent
Amazon Prime’s my Christmas guiding star
While I’m tracking orders from ridiculously afar
[Chorus]
Last-minute gift, what a Christmas thrill
Racing down the aisles, feeling quite a chill
Wrap it in the car, tape it on the fly
Last-minute gifts make a grown man cry
(Oh, why do I do this every year?)
[Bridge]
Next year I’ll start shopping in July
(No you won’t)
Make a proper list and really try
(No you won’t)
But deep down I know that this is me
Dashing through the stores on December 23
[Final Chorus]
Last-minute gift, what a Christmas thrill
Racing down the aisles, big credit card bill
Wrap it in the car, tape it on the fly
Last-minute gifts make a grown man cry
(I’ll never learn, I’ll never learn)

ah yes, the annual tradition of buying gifts last minute. nothing says happy holidays like a panic attack in the mall parking lot. gotta love how we all pretend we’re shocked it’s december again. hats off to you, SupaBees, for capturing the true spirit of christmas chaos.
This song is so relatable, it’s almost painful haha. But there’s a weird joy in that last-minute rush, isn’t there? Makes the gift-giving even more memorable. I love the bridge, ‘Next year I’ll start shopping in July’ – yeah right, as if that’s gonna happen!
July? Who are we kidding, we’ll all be in the same boat next December, celebrating procrastination like it’s a national holiday. Classic!
