about

Adam wrote this song about based on his years of working in hotels and restaurants around the holidays.
Nick and Jonathan built the music around the melody Adam sang it to in a voicemail message he left for them both.

lyrics

If you’re good boys and girls
And keep the tables clean
If you always clock in on time
And never ever lean
If you work 3 hours passed close
And you do it with a smile
If you skip your breaks the extra tips you make
Will sure be worth your while

Christmas’ll come in February
When all events are done
You work all the other parties
Then you will have your fun
Gotta get through the holidays
And just a few weeks more
Then the boss’ll buy you pizza
or a gift card to a store

Got a 12 top reser vation
2 13s just walked in
The kitchen’s out of steak
And the bar is out of gin
You gotta open tomorrow
But tonight you just can’t leave
Take this french 75 to table 29
Every night is Christmas eve.

Cause Christmas’ll come in February
When all of this is done
You work all the other parties
Then you’ll have your fun
Gotta get through the holidays
And just a few weeks more
Then the boss’ll buy you pizza
Now get back on the floor.

Haven’t taken a lunch break
Since before november fifth
No amount of time and a half
Is gonna be worth this
You’d really love to call off
And maybe take the a rest
And get over this cold, but your boss says no
Gotta take care of those guests

Christmas’ll come in February
When all of this is done
You work all the other parties
Then you’ll have your fun
Gotta get through the holidays
And just a few weeks more
Then the boss’ll buy you pizza
Now get back on the floor..

Christmas’ll come in February
Unles you 86 your job
Throw your own Christmas party
Spend new years with your mom
Gotta enjoy the holidays
And I’ll tell you something more
You deserve more than that pizza
So just walk on out that door.
