lyrics

[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
