ALMOST CHRISTMAS As recorded by Chris Isaak (From the 2022 Album EVERYBODY KNOWS IT’S CHRISTMAS) [Intro] [Verse 1] I gotta get my girl a present She got one for me She wrapped it up real pretty It’s underneath a tree She goes shopping early I go way too late Every year’s the same thing I procrastinate [Chorus] It’s almost Christmas And I’m the last one in the store It’s almost Christmas I can’t do this anymore It’s almost Christmas I can hear those sleigh bells ring It’s almost Christmas and I haven’t bought a thing [Verse 2] I should buy her fancy earrings Maybe find the right perfume I’m open to suggestions But they better get here soon She goes shopping early I go way too late Every year’s the same thing I procrastinate [Chorus] It’s almost Christmas And I’m the last one in the store It’s almost Christmas I can’t do this anymore It’s almost Christmas I can hear those sleigh bells ring It’s almost Christmas and I haven’t bought a thing [Bridge] Everything is closing down Not one present have I found Now they’re locking up the door I don’t know what I’m shopping for [Chorus] It’s almost Christmas And I’m the last one in the store It’s almost Christmas I can’t do this anymore It’s almost Christmas I can hear those sleigh bells ring It’s almost Christmas and I haven’t bought a thing [Guitar Solo] [Outro] Almost Christmas (The door will be closing in five minutes) It’s almost Christmas (thank you for shopping) Yeah yeah It’s almost Christmas It’s almost Christmas
