Sometimes You Have to Work on Christmas (Sometimes) |
| A studio apartment in a dull part of Seattle |
| A strand of light suspended |
| By a thumb tack in the drywall |
| The restaurants are closed |
| So are the record shops |
| The banks, and bars, and Bartell drugs |
| And so’s the half price book store |
| But the movies are always open |
| And I always have to open |
| A repertory movie house |
| Well life is not so wonderful |
| For 15 soggy patrons |
| Who have no better place to be |
| Not to mention me |
| I’m working for a holiday wage |
| My family is two time zones away |
| I’m supposed to call them |
| My vodka and snow is melting |
| The alcohol isn’t helping |
| Sometimes, you have to work on Christmas sometimes |
| You have to work on Christmas sometimes |
| You gotta work on Christmas; |
| I doubt I’ll miss this |
| There’s an artificial tree |
| Blinking in the lobby |
| Sitting on the coffee table, yeah |
| Strangers and spare changers |
| Stand in line like poor relations |
| At some kind of sad reunion |
| And I’m selling the tickets |
| They come in out of the weather |
| For Christmas alone together |
| Sometimes you have to work on Christmas, sometimes |
| You have to work on Christmas, sometimes |
| You have to work on Christmas |
| I doubt I’ll miss this next year |
| Sometimes you have to work on Christmas, sometimes |
| You gotta work on Christmas, sometimes |
| You have to work on Christmas |
| I doubt I’ll miss this at all |
