The singer is applying all these flying-related metaphors to the listener to imply that they can persevere without being "brought down"; i.e. having their spirits cramped.

Dr. Doof feels that he is defective and has failed at being evil for not hating Christmas, because he feels that if he were a successful villain, he would at least have some animosity towards it due to the cheerful nature of the holiday.

Destroying Christmas seems like something an evil scientist would do, and Dr. D is an evil scientist, so he feels that he maybe should destroy Christmas.

Dr. Doofenshmirtz is an evil scientist, so he is expected to hate Christmas, the way most cartoony villains do. However, he just cannot bring himself to hate it. He finds this strange, because he hates most holidays, even his own birthday, but does not see what is so bad about Christmas.

This is a pun on the phrase "trick or treat", which is said on Halloween by children asking for candy. In this context, the girls are saying that instead of being given candy, they get tricked into thinking that they will be given candy when in fact they actually will not.
