Christmas Don't Be Late
Kacey Musgraves Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Christmas, Christmas time is near
Time for toys and time for cheer
I've been good, but I can't last
Hurry Christmas, hurry fast
Want a plane that loops the loop
And I want a hula hoop
I can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late

Want a plane that loops the loop
And I still want a hula hoop
I can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late

I can hardly stand the wait
Please Christmas, don't be late

Christmas, Christmas time is near
The holiday season is just around the corner

Time for toys and time for cheer
It's the time of year for gifts and joy

I've been good, but I can't last
The singer has been on her best behavior, but can't contain her excitement any longer

Hurry Christmas, hurry fast
She's anxious for Christmas to arrive quickly

Want a plane that loops the loop
She desires a toy airplane that can perform stunts

And I want a hula hoop
In addition to the airplane, she desires a hula hoop for Christmas

I can hardly stand the wait
The anticipation is almost unbearable

Please Christmas, don't be late
The singer is pleading with the holiday to come quickly
