Christmas at the Office

Tan-tan-tan
Pam-pam-pam

No one’s in the office
I’m here all alone
Should’ve been on time, but
No one’s gonna moan

Even the coffee machine
It’s all just for me
After my morning dump
I’m on my own time, free!

Christmas at the office-ho-ho
Saving all my precious leave days
For Bordeaux in the summer glow

Spending Christmas at the office-ho-ho
Nobody will ask me what’s inside my thermos—
Cinnamon, just so you know!

Swapping Thorsten’s dead mouse batteries
Hide it somewhere Peter stores
Then I move Peter’s whole damn drawer
Five kilometers out the doors

On Detlef’s computer—listen to me!
A batch file’s now in autostart
Call it “lol-dot-bat” and write:
“Start lol-dot-bat,” it’s art
Screw you, Detlef!

Detlef, I just don’t like you!

Christmas at the office-ho-ho
Saving all my precious leave days
For a tractor tour, you know!

Spending Christmas at the office-ho-ho
Cookies sitting on the table
But my figure’s saying “No!”

Then again, there’s salmon too

Christmas at the office-ho-ho
Even the janitor’s smiling—
Guess he’s feeling the joy-ho-ho

Spending Christmas at the office-ho-ho
‘Cause back at home Uncle Hartmut
Talks too much, won’t let it go

About some “weird old times,” ya know?

Christmas at the office-ho-ho-ho
That didn’t fit the beat, I know
