On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me

[AMALIA, spoken]
Good morning, Mr. Novak

[GEORG, spoken]
Georg: Good morning, Ms. Balish. How are you today?

[AMALIA, spoken]
Ready for thousands of customers

[GEORG, spoken]
Only twelve days to go!

[CAROLERS]
Fa la la la la la la la
Fa la la la la la la
Fa la la la

Twelve days to Christmas
Twelve days to Christmas
Plenty of time to do your Christmas shopping
We are the people who shop in time, shop in time, plenty of time
These are the people with time to spare who shop at our convenience

Twelve days to Christmas
Twelve days to Christmas
Look at the way they do our Christmas shopping

They can go shopping and still remain calm and sedate
These are the people we envy and the people that we hate!

[AMALIA, GEORG, ARPAD, SIPOS, ILONA]
Thank you, Thank you
Please call again
Do call again, thank you

[AMALIA, spoken]
Quite a day, eh, Mr. Novak?

[GEORG, spoken]
Oh, it certainly was, Ms. Balash

[AMALIA, spoken]
Oh, thank you for the book, it was excellent

[GEORG, spoken]
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Ah, Will you be taking the bus home today, Ms. Balash?
[AMALIA, spoken]
Yes, I will

[GEORG, spoken]
May I walk you to the bus stop?

[AMALIA, spoken]
I'd like that Mr. Nowak

[CAROLERS]
Twelve drummers drumming
Twelve drummers drumming
Eleven pipers piping
Eleven pipers piping
Ten lords a leaping
Nine, Nine, Nine, Nine

Nine days to Christmas
Nine days to Christmas
Still enough time to do your Christmas shopping

We are the people who shop in time, shop in time, still enough time
Sensible people who organize the time at our disposal

Nine days to Christmas
Nine days to Christmas
Still enough time to do your Christmas shopping
These are the people who plan their days wisely and well
These are the people who shop in time, and they can go to hell!

[AMALIA, GEORG, ARPAD, SIPOS, ILONA]
Thank you, Thank you
Please call again
Do call again, thank you

[GEORG, spoken]
Are you in a very great hurry today, Ms. Balash?

[AMALIA, spoken]
No, not at all

[GEORG, spoken]
I was thinking, maybe a cup of coffee on the way to the bus?

[AMALIA, spoken]
I'd like that, Mr. Nowak

[GEORG, spoken]
So would I

[CAROLERS]
Eight maids a milking
Seven swans a swimming
Six geese a laying
Five golden rings

Four days to Christmas
Four days to Christmas
Just enough time to do your Christmas shopping

We are the people who shop in time, just in time, barely in time
We are the people who calculate with clinical precision

Four days to Christmas
Four days to Christmas
We are the folks who never waste a second

Full of a chilly efficiency
Loaded with gall
Never too early and never late
And they're the worst of all!

[AMALIA, GEORG, ARPAD, SIPOS, ILONA]
Thank you, Thank you
Please call again
Do call again, thank you

[AMALIA, spoken]
Oh, What a day!

[GEORG, spoken]
Ah! Just wait until the twenty-fourth

[CAROLERS]
THE TWENTY FOURTH?!
One day to Christmas
One day to Christmas
Not enough time to do our Christmas shopping

We're not the shopple who peeped in time
We're not the sheeple who popped in time
We're not the people who shopped in time
Shopped in time, not enough time
We are the people who always wait until it's much too late, OH!

One day to Christmas
One day to Christmas
How will we ever do our Christmas shopping?

Why did we ever delay so long, who can recall?
Some of the family may not get a Christmas gift at all!

[AMALIA, GEORG, ARPAD, SIPOS, ILONA]
Thank you, Thank you
Please call again
Do call again, thank you

[ALL]
Merry Christmas!
