"Working At Christmas" lyrics

"Working At Christmas"

We're gonna miss them at Christmas
They won't be here for the fun
They'll be working at Christmas
Cos they got a job that must be done

Doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers
Postmen, firemen, airplane pilots
Singers 'n' dancers the folks on TV
And then there's ma stuffing the turkey
They're all working at Christmas
Doing what has to be done
Working hard at Christmas
God bless them everyone

They don't want to leave the party
Just when the fun has begun
To make sure Christmas is covered
So here's to them from us at home

Soldiers, sailors, lighthouse keepers
Santa's mates the chimney sweepers
Police lookin' out for you and for me
And then there's ma stuffing the turkey
They're all working at Christmas
Doing what has to be done
Working hard at Christmas
God bless them everyone

And all the heroes living right next door
Are doing everything they can and more
To make a Christmas dream come true for me and you

Lifeboat crews and taxi drivers
Clergy folks who seek to guide us
Chefs and waiters, the maitre d'
And then there's ma stuffing the turkey
They're all working at Christmas
Doing what has to be done
Working hard at Christmas
God bless them everyone
Working hard at Christmas
God bless them everyone...

Guys and gals in the radio stations
Spinning those yuletide excitations
Doctors, nurses, airplane pilots
Postmen, firemen, ambulance drivers
Lifeboat crews and taxi drivers
Singers and dancers, milkmen farmers
Ooh! God bless them everyone
