is it new years yet? – English Lyrics

• By: Sabrina Carpenter
• Album: Short n' Sweet

Lyrics & Translation

Sabrina Carpenter's "is it new years yet?" is the perfect song for anyone who feels the "holiday blues" instead of cheer. Its genre is a blend of Pop and Disco, providing a catchy, upbeat backdrop to witty, relatable lyrics about the struggles of being single during Christmas and dealing with annoying family traditions. Listening to it is a fun way to learn modern, casual English phrases of complaint and impatience, like "sick and tired of this holiday," "skip ahead," and the concept of an "anti-Christmas anthem."

[English]

Uh

...

I'm sick and tired of this holiday

Not good at being present anyway

The songs are catchy, but they're overplayed

My relatives always know what to say to piss me off

Small talk in the kitchen, dated, dumb traditions

Who sucks competition (oh-oh)

Call it pessimism, December is a prison

It just makes me miss him

Is it New Years yet?

I'm getting bored, so can we skip ahead?

I just wanna forget

That I'm at home with nobody to hold

I'm dreamin' 'bout silver and gold (silver and gold)

That champagne buzz down to my toes (to my toes)

Someone, not you, kissin' me? Oh, yes

New Years, is it New Years yet?

Santa, Santa, boy, you're the worst

It's the 25th, I wish it was the 1st

Couples all around me, damn, it hurts

Wanna push 'em in the fireplace and watch 'em burn

Santa, Santa, why do you hate me?

I'm a gift, look how God made me

Never, never get what's on my list

Fruitcake just makes me sick (uh)

Small talk in the kitchen, dated, dumb traditions

Who sucks competition (oh-oh)

Call it pessimism, December is a prison

It just makes me miss him

Is it New Years yet?

I'm getting bored, so can we skip ahead?

I just wanna forget

That I'm at home with nobody to hold

I'm dreamin' 'bout silver and gold (silver and gold)

That champagne buzz down to my toes (to my toes)

Someone, not you, kissin' me? Oh, yes

New Years, is it New Years yet?

Huh, huh, huh, huh

...

Is it New Years yet?
