Christmas is the time
To kick back and unwind
With two days off
But you still get paid
If it's on a sunday
You're back to work on monday
And the man won't even give you half a day

So don't put Christmas on the weekend
'Cause they won't give me any time off
No don't you put that Christmas on the weekend
Or I just won't celebrate at all

Why don't old Obama
Make a law that says they oughta
Have Christmas on thursday every year
That's the best arrangement
To increase my estrangement
With my job and to help spread Christmas cheer

So don't put Christmas on the weekend
'Cause they won't give me any time off
No don't you put that Christmas on the weekend
Or I just won't celebrate at all

This Christmas all that I want to receive
Is a few days a family man can need
I asked boss if we get all twelve days
He told me not to ask about a raise

Tell my boss excuse me
I wish you would not Scrooge me
And make me work when Santa's almost here
'Cause if I'm at my computer
Surrounded by you losers
I might not live
To see the new year
Don't put Christmas on the weekend
