This can seem a bit too long, but if you hum along, you’ll find it a cheerful song!
On the 1st day of Stressmas
My boss said to me
You don’t really think you’re leaving work early!
On the 2nd day of Stressmas
A client said to me
I need 4 new placemats
Full of cheerful red hats
You don’t really think you’re leaving work early!
On the 3rd day of Stressmass
My sister said to me
We need to go shopping
For mom, dad and siblings
I have 4 new placemats
Full of cheerful red hats
I don’t really think I’m leaving work early!
On the 4th day of Stressmas
Same client said to me
Scratch that line on holiday cheer
Please do mention the new year
I need to go shopping
For my parents and siblings
I need my 4 placemats
We’re late on promoting that
You don’t really think you’re leaving this early!
On the 5th day of Stressmas
My conscience said to me
YOU’RE MISSING THE ESSENCE!
Scratch that line on holiday cheer
Also mention the new year
You need to go shopping
For your parents and siblings
Finish up those placemats
With the silly red hats
You really should be leaving work early!
On the 6th day of Stressmas
Secret santa gave to me
A stress ball shaped in a reindeer
To squeeze out of all life dear
YOU’RE MISSING THE ESSENCE!
Stuck with rhymes on holiday cheer
That don’t mention the new year
I still haven’t gone shopping
For my parents and siblings
Copy paste those placemats
With different colored silly hats
I am never leaving work early!
On the 7th day of Stressmas
My boyfriend said to me
You sure need a shower fast
Are you ghost of Christmas past?
Where’s my stress ball reindeer
To squeeze out of all life dear
I’M MISSING THE ESSENCE!
Screw those rhymes on holiday cheer
And all mention of new year
I hate all this shopping
For my parents and siblings
And those four old placemats
I won’t mention in next batch
Will I ever leave work more early?
On the 8th day of Stressmas
A new client said to me
Let’s make use of shopping sprees
And abuse the customers’ needs
I need to have a shower fast
Stuck with ghosts of Christmas past
Where’s my stress ball reindeer
To squeeze out of all life dear
I’M MISSING THE ESSENCE!
Screw those rhymes on holiday cheer
No resolutions for this year
I am going shopping
For my parents and siblings
I don’t care if I leave work early!
On the 9th day of Stressmas
My coworker said to me
Clients called you half past eight
Angry and can no more wait
To make use of shopping sprees
And abuse the people’s needs
You need to have a shower fast
You look like the ghost of past
Where’s my stress ball reindeer
To squeeze out of all life dear
I’M MISSING THE ESSENCE!
Have you yet gone shopping
For your parents and siblings?
Don’t ever ever leave work early!
On the 10th day of Stressmas
The clients said to me
Make our prices smaller
And our logos bigger
We have called you half past eight
Angry and can no more wait
To make use of shopping sprees
And abuse the people’s needs
I still haven’t showered fast
I look like the ghost of past
Where’s my stress ball reindeer
To squeeze out of all life dear
I’M MISSING THE ESSENCE!
I still have some shopping
For my parents and siblings
Will I ever leave again this early?
On the 11th day of Stressmas
My nerves said to me
We can no more take it
This is purely bullshit
Stay home sick and have some rest
Elves will take care of the rest
I think I’ve gone cuckoo
STOP MISSING THE ESSENCE!
I’m never leaving my bed any early!
On the 12th day of Stressmas
My boss said to me
You should’ve timed your sickness
On the night of Christmas
We can no more take it
This is purely bullshit
Stay here no more time to rest
No one to take care of the rest
THERE IS NO ESSENCE!
And you’re never ever leaving work early!
Happy holidays everyone! :)
