Lyrics:

[Sonia: Alright Tegan and Sara, ready to sing your song?

Tegan: I'd say we are

Sara: Yeah, let's sing it now

Sonia: Okay, Tegan?

Tegan: Okay

Sonia: Okay, Ted?

Ted: Okay

Sonia: Okay, Sara? Sara? Sara?!

Sara: Okay!]


Christmas, Christmas time is near

Time for toys and time for cheer

We've been good, but we can't last

Hurry Christmas, hurry fast

Want a plane that loops the loop

Me, I want a hula-hoop

We can hardly stand the wait

Please, Christmas, don't be late


[Sonia: That was very good, Tegan

Tegan: Naturally!

Sonia: Very good, Ted

Ted: Hahahaha

Sonia: Sara, you were a little flat, watch it. Sara? Sara? Sara?!

Sara: Okay!]


Want a plane that loops the loop

I still want a hula-hoop

We can hardly stand the wait

Please, Christmas, don't be late

We can hardly stand the wait

Please, Christmas, don't be late


[Sonia: Very good, girls

Tegan: Let's sing it again

Sara: Yeah, let's sing it again

Sonia: No, that's enough, let's not overdo it

Tegan: What do you mean overdo it?

Ted: Aw, come on

Sara: We want to sing it again

Sonia: Now wait a minute, girls

Tegan: Let’s sing it again

Ted: One more time

Sonia: Sara, cut it out

Sara: Let’s sing it again
Ted: Come on, one more

Sonia: Ted, just a minute

Tegan: Let’s sing it again!

Sara: Sing it again

Sonia: Tegan, cut it out, girls!]
