Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The tree's still up, the ham's half gone
My inbox says "Out till January"
But I'm on a call at 8 AM
While the grandkids redecorate the sanctuary
Sharon's playing Christmas carols
The dog is losing his mind
My boss in New York wants a status report
On a project that no one can find
[Chorus]
It's the ten crazy days at the end of the year
Half the world's on vacation, half pretending to be here
The kids want attention, the in-laws are in a craze
And I'm on mute saying things I can't say out loud
In the ten crazy days
[Verse 2]
Got a Zoom call with a skeleton crew
Three cameras off, one guy in Cancun
Someone's kid just walked through the frame
And a dog's barking at a balloon
The coffee's cold, the Wi-Fi's slow
My calendar's a work of fiction
"Quick sync" means an hour and a half
Of holiday schedule friction
[Chorus]
It's the ten crazy days at the end of the year
Half the world's on vacation, half pretending to be here
The kids want attention, the in-laws are in a craze
And I'm on mute saying things I can't say out loud
In the ten crazy days
[Bridge]
We're all just running out the clock
Pretending that we're not
Sending emails no one reads
For projects time forgot
Somewhere between the thank-you cards
And resolutions we won't keep
The whole world hits the pause button
And pretends it ain't asleep
[Verse 3]
We've all grown so tired of turkey
But the dogs seem to think it's fine
The dishwasher's running on repeat
And Aunt Lil's polished off the wine
I'd take PTO but who's left to cover?
I'd work but the servers are down
So I'll sit here in Christmas pajamas
The most productive ghost in town
[Chorus]
It's the ten crazy days at the end of the year
Where "working from home" means you're technically here
The family thinks you're free, the boss thinks you're busy
And you're stuck in the middle getting everybody dizzy
In the ten crazy days
Yeah, the ten crazy days
[Outro]
Just eight more hours till the ball drops...
Wait, what day is it?
