[intro - harmonious present unwrapping scene]
Gerald's got his reindeer jumper on!
There's an email from Head Office that says "It's been a tough year but now it's time to have some fun!"
A 2 course meal at £30 a head
The party budget's overstretched by some bottled lager and undrinkable red
The copier is strictly out of bounds
"We know that it's a party, but don't let us catch you with your trousers down."
The conference room is decked with holly
(Stuck at the work Xmas party)
Paper hats for everybody
(Stuck at the work Xmas party)
It takes a saint to stay this jolly
(Stuck at the work Xmas party)
The evening has just got started
Everyone's the worst
And I want to go home
2 drinks down and my manager's in tears
From a heated Brexit argument
And a shouting match about her misspent years
There's chat about reporting for the quarter
And Sophie's looking mortified at the secret Santa gift that I bought her
[Interval - wine and chat]
The conference room is decked with holly
(Stuck at the work Xmas party)
Paper hats for everybody
(Stuck at the work Xmas party)
It takes a saint to stay this jolly
(Stuck at the work Xmas party)
The evening has just got started
Everyone's the worst
And I want to go home

I didn't think that this would be a normal Christmastime
I didn't think I'd still be cut up over old John Prine
Sometimes we've been apart, and sometimes you've been six feet near
Happy Christmas, I guess I'll see you next year
What's the point in decorations for an empty house?
At least this December will be easy on my bank account
The decade's off to a rough start, I think that much is clear
Happy Christmas, I guess I'll see you next year
You could say it might be worse when we hit 2021
But there were still a couple things that everyone got done
This year, we all learned not to plan too far ahead,
What the electoral college is, and how to bake banana bread
Spent most of 2020 sad and missing ya
And can you tell I'm still not over Adam Schlesinger?
The second album's finished, but we can't go get a beer
I'd really love to spread some joy and cheer
By singing something loud for all to hear
And high-five the rest of Fightmilk without fear
But I don't think we'll be getting the all-clear
So until then, we'll have to persevere
Happy Christmas, I guess I'll see you next year.

There's a hole in the jumper
you got from my mother
and you don't drink whiskey
so that's no good either
I bought you a boxset
Before sunrise and sunset
I should have got you a dvd player
How about a voucher
for a shop that you hate?
we watched as you piled all
the meat on your plate
You won't pull the crackers
you tell me they're tacky
I'm yule-tired of you and all of your hate
And I'm dreaming of a Christmas where you just explode
The cattle all lowing,
The angels on high
The three wise men trailing
The star in the sky
The sweet baby Jesus
on his bed of hay
Are all praying to Santa
You'll just go away
fa la la la la...
YOU'RE RUINING DECEMBER
And I'm dreaming of a Christmas where you just explode
Yes I'm dreaming of a Christmas where you just explode
Bang, all over the walls, all over the turkey and the tree, hooray
