Too Much Tape

David Marcouillier

Lyrics:

Thank you for the Christmas present.
I appreciate the gift.
And I’ll be sure to thank you more
Once I find out what it is.

The wrapping paper’s laminated
In about three rolls of tape.
I understand it’s in your plan
To see these presents don’t escape.

If I could only find the edge of it
Then I could tear it loose.
But I’ve tried, I’ve pulled, I’ve pried.
I tell you it’s no use.

I’ve been at it half an hour
And still can’t break it free.
A utility knife could end my strife
If you’ve got one for me.

If I get this open
I’m sure it will be great.
Until then I’ll try once again
But it’s starting to get late.

It’s starting to get late…
