Too Much to Do
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Lyrics

We've got cookies to make, we've got carols to sing.
We have tasks to complete such as baking cookies and singing carols.

If we type while we bake, we'll be done by Spring.
We'll multi-task while baking and use the time to catch up on work we've put off.

Do we have time to buy Christmas dresses?
We question whether we can fit another task into our schedule.

Should we try to stuff the stockings, roast a ham, and be in bed by ten?
We wonder if we can accomplish everything we want to do before going to sleep at a reasonable time.

What can we say?
We don't know how to express the overwhelming feeling of having too much to do.

With Christmas only one day away.
The holiday is quickly approaching, and we're not prepared.

We're totally crazed.
We're feeling overwhelmed and frantic.

You see, we've got too much to do.
We reiterate the fact that we have a lot of tasks to complete.

We thought we heard some jingle bells, but it was just a fax.
We're so frazzled that we're mishearing sounds and confusing them with other noises.

We've got mittens to crochet, Toboggans to ride, Christmas music to play.
We have several activities we want to squeeze in before the holiday arrives.

Does anyone have a nose?
We need assistance in making a snowman, specifically finding a carrot for its nose.

Our snowman needs one I suppose.
It's necessary for the snowman to have a nose to be fully complete.

Please phone us, clone us, lend a hand.
We're requesting help or offering alternatives for completion of our tasks.

Don't you understand?
We're questioning if anyone empathizes with our situation.

Yes, we've got to find time to make egg nog and punch.
We're acknowledging we need to complete an additional task before the holiday.

And Grandmother's holiday strudel for lunch.
We have a dish that we need to make for the holiday luncheon.

Yikes!
We're expressing fear, panic or dissatisfaction about something.

No Way, No How, No Way!
We're using exaggerated language to express that we're not able to complete anymore tasks.

There's too much to do and too little time.
We're emphasizing the fact that our tasks are overwhelming our schedule.

We're sisters, we partners.
We're emphasizing our teamwork and unity in completing these tasks.

We'll solve any crime by dinnertime.
We're using figurative language to suggest that we're skilled and capable of completing any task.

Here's a no brainer.
We're suggesting a simple solution to our problem.

We've got too much to do.
We reiterate our overwhelming workload.

Too much, too much to do!
We express our frustration and exhaustion from having so much to do.
