lyrics

Workin' on Christmas
you know that it just doesn't happen
it's something we construct
out of gifts and wrapping
out of planning for all the joy we hope to see
on the faces of the people we care about

ooh-ooh-oh-oooh-ooh-ooh-oh

Workin' on Christmas
we talk about Santa Claus and gifts on shelves
when what we should be thinking about is ourselves
not in an insipid kind of way
bur reflective upon the labor
that helps make the day

Here we are, there it goes out the window
Here we are, we who know how it happens

If you're workin' on Christmas
I hope you have a good Christmas
