Christmas Party

Intro

Hey oh hey oh

Seven days to go

Verse 1

Midday sharp the doors swing wide

Pensioners claim the corner table first

They're three drinks in before the starters land

Laughing loud at jokes they half remember

The office crowd files in politely

Drivers drop their bags and grab a chair

Field staff trade a grin across the room

We all know exactly why we're here

Chorus

One week before the Eve we gather round

One week before the Eve we raise them high

Plates keep coming glasses never empty

Nobody's leaving till the morning light

(One week before the Eve)

(Nobody's leaving)

Verse 2

Boss stands up to tell his yearly tale

About the van that rolled into a ditch

Drivers counter with the traffic and the roads

And the customer who called them twice a day

Office girls and field lads swap their stories

Eccentric folks who rang a hundred times

Somebody's laughing so hard that they're crying

The whole room's rocking like a freight train line

Chorus

One week before the Eve we gather round

One week before the Eve we raise them high

Plates keep coming glasses never empty

Nobody's leaving till the morning light

(One week before the Eve)

(Nobody's leaving)

Bridge

Sing it loud sing it proud

Pour another round

Sing it loud sing it proud

Till the sun comes out

Chorus

One week before the Eve we gather round

One week before the Eve we raise them high

Plates keep coming glasses never empty

Nobody's leaving till the morning light

(One week before the Eve)

(Nobody's leaving)

Post-Chorus

Hey oh hey oh

Seven days to go

Hey oh hey oh

Seven days to go
