Five Minutes To Go Lyrics

Five minutes to go, the mall's a war zone

People are screaming, I'm here all alone

Didn't plan ahead, now I'm in the race

Shoving through crowds in a gift-hunting chase

Five minutes to go, and I'm losin' my mind

Grabbing whatever random thing I can find

No thought, no plan, just panic and sweat

Merry Christmas to the strangers I've never met

Fighting through the aisles, elbows out wide

Grandma's swinging purses, it's a bumpy ride

I need that last scarf, but there's none to spare

So I grab a candle with a blank, dead stare

Five minutes to go, and the clock's tickin' fast

Hope they love hand soap, it's all I could grab

Desperate and broke, with a gift they won't need

Just wrapping up failure and a little greed

Why did I wait 'til the final hour

Christmas spirit lost in a shopping tower

The music's too loud, the lights are too bright

I'm stuck in a retail nightmare tonight

The shelves are empty, the line's a mile long

Holiday music plays the same old song

I clutch a mug that says World's Best Dad

For my girlfriend's mom, she'll think I'm mad

Five minutes to go, the clock's at a tick

Nothing says I care like a gift bought quick

It's chaos and madness, a holiday show

Last-minute shopping's the way to go

Next year, I swear, I'll be ahead of the game

But December 24th, it'll be the same

Five minutes to go, that's all I need

Merry Christmas, now watch me speed
