Twas the morning after
Christmas
And all through the store,
Some employees barely
awake,
We were here at four
The people who don't work
retail
Were all snug in their
beds
With visions of turkeys,
puddings and presents
Going round in their
heads.
Admin are here and the
prices have gone down,
Some think “thank god”
and rush into town,
The store's so quiet with
hardly anyone in it,
Do you think Justin would
notice if we were to just bin it.
Christmas comes down to get ready for Easter,
It makes New Year sales that little bit sweeter,
Christmas comes down to get ready for Easter,
It makes New Year sales that little bit sweeter,
The bakers are here
putting their buns in the oven,
Before the mad rush
happens all of a sudden.
We were closed for one day
but people still panic,
They come in for fruit and
veg hoping it's still organic
The checkout cashiers have
all manned their battle stations,
Coffee's your friend when
you're in it for the duration.
The day started slowly for
those who were awake,
Our sanity was missing and
we started to ache,
And then as one they
started to awaken,
Seduced by cheap bargains
and a craving for bacon,
They reached in their
pocket for a wallet or a purse,
And raced back to seasonal
all trying to be first.
Half price decorations, gifts and wrap,
All we would like is one little nap,
It's been a busy time for those in retail,
As soon as it's finish we'll all hit the ale,
All we would like is one little nap,
It's been a busy time for those in retail,
As soon as it's finish we'll all hit the ale,
Our journey is over it's
time for goodbye,
Working in retail doesn't
time fly?
