Lyrics:

[English]

Time to celebrate the season, haven't eaten all day

My, my tummy is growling 'cause I've been saving up space

I've got my place at the table, can't fit no more on my plate

I've got my fork in my hand ready to stuff my face

So bring on the turkey, potatoes, casserole dishes

'Cause I ain't messing around with them buttoned up britches

You got them skinny jeans on, girl, I feel sorry for you

'Cause I just tried everything, and I'm going back for round two

I got my stretchy pants on (stretchy pants)

I got my stretchy pants on (stretchy, stretchy)

Spandex and Lycra, you better work it for me

'Cause I'm about to expand this band of elasticity

I got my stretchy pants on (stretchy pants)

I got my stretchy pants on (stretchy, stretchy)

Ask me where I got 'em, Amazon at my door

And if I wear this pair out, I'm gonna buy me some more

I got leftovers waiting in the fridge for repeating

Give me a nap and an hour, you know they gonna get eaten

So bring on the turkey, potatoes, casserole dishes

'Cause I ain't messing around with them buttoned up britches

Can't get my skinny jeans on, but don't feel sorry for me

'Cause I just tried everything, and I'm going back for round three

I got my stretchy pants on (stretchy pants)

I got my stretchy pants on (stretchy, stretchy)

Hey, Spandex and Lycra, you better work it for me

'Cause I'm about to expand this band of elasticity

I got my stretchy pants on (stretchy pants) (I got my stretchy pants on)

I got my stretchy pants on (stretchy, stretchy)

Fruitcake (I'll try it)

Ambrosia (I'll try it)

Aunt Bertha's 'nana pudding with a cherry on top

Cookies (I'll have some)

Oh, Gingerbread, leave no crumbs

Guzzle down some egg nog, even though I'm 'bout to pop

I got my stretchy pants on (stretchy pants)

I got my stretchy pants on (stretchy, stretchy)

So bring on the turkey, potatoes, casserole dishes

'Cause I ain't messing around with them buttoned up britches

And when you think that I'm done, and I'm laid out on the floor

No-no-no, don't let me fool ya, I got some room for some more

With my stretchy pants on (stretchy pants)

I got my stretchy pants on (stretchy, stretchy)

Oh, oh, oh, my stretchy pants on (stretchy pants)

Mm, I got my stretchy pants on y'all (stretchy, stretchy)

Santa ain't got nothing on me

Grammar:

  • Time to celebrate the season, haven't eaten all day

    ➔ Present Perfect Negative (haven't eaten)

    ➔ Uses the present perfect negative tense to express that the speaker hasn't eaten anything during the entire day leading up to this moment. It emphasizes a state that started in the past and continues to the present.

  • My, my tummy is growling 'cause I've been saving up space

    ➔ Present Perfect Continuous (I've been saving)

    ➔ The present perfect continuous tense is used to indicate an action that started in the past and continues to the present, emphasizing the duration of the action. In this case, the speaker has been "saving up space" for a period of time leading up to the current moment.

  • I've got my place at the table, can't fit no more on my plate

    ➔ Double Negative (can't fit no more)

    ➔ Using "can't" and "no more" creates a double negative, which is generally considered non-standard English. It's used here for emphasis and colloquial effect, meaning there is absolutely no space left on the plate.

  • You got them skinny jeans on, girl, I feel sorry for you

    ➔ Conditional Implication/Expressing Sympathy

    ➔ While not a direct conditional sentence, the line implies a conditional relationship: 'Because you are wearing skinny jeans, I feel sorry for you (since you won't be able to eat as much).' It expresses sympathy based on a specific situation.

  • 'Cause I just tried everything, and I'm going back for round three

    ➔ Future Continuous (going back)

    ➔ While "going to" is used, it signifies the future continuous implying a planned or intended action that will be in progress at a future point. It emphasizes the speaker's intention to return for another serving of food.

  • And if I wear this pair out, I'm gonna buy me some more

    ➔ First Conditional (if I wear... I'm gonna buy)

    ➔ This is a classic example of a first conditional sentence. The "if" clause (if I wear this pair out) sets up a possible condition, and the main clause (I'm gonna buy me some more) describes the likely result if that condition is met. Expresses a real possibility in the future.
