When you feel taken for granted
thinkin' they just don't care
wanting to move away again,
but again, you don't know where
burned-out, tired of trying
to be all the bossman wants
to be everything to everyone,
reading in between the fonts
We who sit beside you
in the office and the stall
who sing along, the same old song,
while you stand and take the fall
in a cubicle, with mistletoe,
this lonesome caroler hums
it's all benign,
please don't resign
before the yule tide comes
Want to see you here on Christmas
don't leave us all alone
want to hear you 'woe ** ho' again
so don't slam down the phone
don't make that snap decision
when the pressure starts to build
just let the steam out somewhere else
and let your heart be filled...
with joy
At the meeting, you suggested
wrap the garland and a bow
and all the trimmings, here and there
around whose neck, we know
the one about the lighting
the star atop her head
and now the head of operations,
wants to move you to the shed.
They just don't understand you,
your work is so complex
you didn't sign his Christmas card
but the boss still signs your checks
so don't be rash, just try to hash it out
and make a deal,
and let bygones be gone
before the office Christmas meal.
Want to see you here on Christmas
please don't leave us all alone
want to hear you 'woe ** ho' again
so don't slam down the phone
and don't make that snap decision
when the pressure starts to build
just let the steam out somewhere else
and let your heart be filled...
with joy
