I Aint Workin On Christmas

VERSE 1 CHORUS 3
Ever since I can remember, the 25th of December And I ain’t workin’ on Christmas next year
I’d have to punch a clock and work ‘til I’m half dead ‘Cus I’d rather be with my family right here
SoI told my wife and children well, the hours and pay are crappy
that this year’s gonna be different so I’d rather be broke and happy
Instead of punchin’ that clock No, I ain’t workin’ on Christmas next year
I’m gonna punch my boss instead

CHORUS 1 And all my friends and family
‘Cus I ain’t workin’ on Christmas this year We all stayed home so happily
No, I’d rather be with my family than here And no one worked on Christmas
Well, I worked all day Black Friday, Not even store clerks worked on Christmas
But this Christmas is gonna be my day Not even truck drivers worked on Christmas
No I ain’t workin’ on Christmas this year Not even waitresses worked on Christmas
No, we all stayed home on Christmas this year
VERSE 2
My boss tells me I gotta work, (Except for Santa Claus, but he only works one day a
so I tell him he’s such a jerk year anyway)
Cus’ I told him months ago and I made it clear
So he says “Don’t be comin’ back”, To listen click this link...
so I says “Catch you later, Jack”

CHORUS 2
No I ain’t workin’ on Christmas this year
‘Cus I’d rather be with my family than here
So you can take this job and shove it,
‘Cus I never did really love it
No I ain’t workin’ on Christmas this year

BRIDGE
I don’t care how much you’re gonna pay
Just for one day leave it alone
‘Cus Christmas don’t last but one day
And it’s a day we should all be home

VERSE 3
Well, I lost my job but I don’t care
‘Cus I never did really like it there
And I know I’ll find a better job somewhere
And I’ll tell my new boss right way
That there’s a certain holiday
that I ain’t never gonna work
and that’s Christmas, so there
