The Greatest Gift
James Corden Lyrics

Another year over
Time has passed

Where do they go to?
The whereabouts of the past time is unknown

It's a mystery
It is unknown

Now it's December
The current month is December

So much to remember
There are many things to recall

Before Christmas eve
Before the night before Christmas

I'm already late
I am not on time

And my train is delayed
My transportation is running behind schedule

"Disruption" on the line
There is a problem with the transit system

I race into work
I hurry to my place of employment

And the place is beserk
The workplace is chaotic

Yes, it's Christmas time
The holiday season has begun

I wanna find the greatest gift I can give my family
I want to discover the best present for my loved ones

But right now I don't have time to breathe
I don't have a moment to relax at the moment

The streets are chaotic
The roads are frenzied

The shops idiotic
The stores are foolish

There's a queue for the queue?!
There is a line to wait in line

A granny's taking her time
An elderly person is moving slowly

At the front of the line
In the first position of the queue

"Ninety-one, ninety-two!"
Counting numbers aloud

There's a party at work
There is a celebration at my place of employment

And the manager's twerking
The boss is performing a provocative dance

Inappropriately
Not appropriate

To top off the day
As a final event of the day

Another train is delayed
The transit system is running behind schedule again

It's a catastrophe
It is a terrible event

Christmas time is here
The holiday season has come

"I'd like to spend the time with the ones I love so dear"
I want to spend time with my cherished ones

I'm tryn'a find the greatest gift I can give my family
I am attempting to locate the best present for my loved ones

I don't have time, there's only one of me
I can't make time because I am the only one

Tell me how do people do it all?
Explain how people accomplish everything

I'll never get it done
I will not be able to complete everything

If only there was a way to be
If there was a method to become

In two places at once
At two locations concurrently

Wait, that gives me an idea
Pause, I have a concept

If I wasn't alone
If I had company

What if I had a clone?
What if I had a genetic duplicate?

I could do so much more!
I could accomplish a lot more!

It would all be a breeze
It would be a simple task

With a couple more me's
With more copies of myself

I'd have time galore!
I would have plenty of time!

The greatest gift that I can give is me
The best present I can provide is myself

Now I can meet with the boss
I can get together with my employer

And empty out my inbox
And complete all my unfinished work

All simultaneously
All at the same time

Leaving me time to spend
Giving me additional time to use

With my family and friends
With my loved ones and acquaintances

Where I wanna be
Where I desire to be
