The Hollytones — Christmas Bonus lyrics

Lyrics

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 (give us)
Our Christmas bonus (our Christmas bonus)
After all we’ve done, you know you owe us (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 gonna give your wife
A fancy new car (yeah right…)
Some jewelry and an old mink coat
(I got a old sweater with a hole in it)
If I shopped at all, they have to play basketball
With the check 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
(Ain't that the truth!)
Give us (give us)
Our Christmas bonus (our Christmas bonus)
After all we’ve done, you know you owe us (you owe us)
Don’t be a Scrooge; it doesn’t have to be huge
Give us our Christmas bonus now (come on, give it up)
Give us (give us)
Our Christmas bonus (our Christmas bonus)
After all we’ve done you know you owe us (you owe us)
Don’t be a Scrooge; it doesn’t have to be huge (come on)
Let me be clear, if you wanna see the New Year
(Give it up now)
Do what you said or you’re gonna be dead
(I want that bonus!)
Give us our Christmas bonus now
(That's right!)
Right now!
