Christmas Bonus

Christmas time is rollin’ around,
A time for love and caring,
We’ve worked hard all year and made a profit for you,
Now how about sharin’?

A Christmas tree and some toys for the kids,
A fancy dinner and some pumpkin pie,
But a six-pack of beer is all the holiday cheer,
That my paycheck will buy,

Some vitamins and a good luck charm,
Is our company health plan.
And the pension fund is a bunch of old coins,
We keep in an old coffee can,

The government safety inspector,
Was accidentally hurt as he entered the plant,
This doesn’t bother us none, but as the holiday comes,
There’s one favor you could grant,

Give us our Christmas bonus,
After all we’ve done you know you owe us,
Don’t be a Scrooge; it doesn’t have to be huge,
Give us our Christmas bonus now,

You say you’re going to give your wife a fancy new car,
Some jewelry and an old mink coat,
If I shopped at all, they have to play basketball,
With the checks I wrote,

It takes all I’ve got and then some.
Just to make the rent,
Don’t be so tight, come on and do right,
‘Cause mine’s already spent,

Give us our Christmas bonus,
After all we’ve done you know you owe us,
Don’t be a Scrooge; it doesn’t have to be huge,
Give us our Christmas bonus now,

Give us our Christmas bonus,
After all we’ve done you know you owe us,
Don’t be a Scrooge; it doesn’t have to be huge,
Let me be clear, if you want to see the New Year,
Do what you said or you’re gonna be dead,
Give us our Christmas bonus now,
