Working Holiday
Manila Luzon & Alaska Thunderfuck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you kidding me? The holidays are the best time of year to work!
What are you so chipper about? This Christmas is terrible! Ugh!
It's Christmas time, let′s work all night
Like Santa's reindeer, let's take flight
Spring some joy to girls and boys
When they unwrap their Christmas ties
And Santa doesn′t even pay me overtime
Your joy and glee is annoying me!
So let me be!
Come on, Alaska
Ugh!
It's a working holiday, like Santa on his sleigh
A working holiday with you, you, it′s true!
It's a working holiday, but we work much more than we play
It′s a working holiday, poo, poo
And we have to wear these ridiculous shoes!
Ugh, well, you do have a point there, but isn't Christmas about others? Giving?
Oh, I′ll give you something, alright. And, I'll give that Santa Claus my two weeks notice!
Alaska, please, listen to me, 'tis the season, for joy and glee!
We are so lucky, honestly, we bring smiles to families!
Well, I guess that is kinda nice.- But, wait, no!
It′s horrible! My bunions are acting up! I just want to nap!
I could be home watching RuPaul′s Drag Race on LogoTV, right now!
Come on, Alaska!
Bah!
It's a working holiday, like Santa on his sleigh
A working holiday with you, you, it′s true!
It's a working holiday, but we work much more than we play
It′s a working holiday, poo, poo
And now I have to sing this stupid song?
Think about all those children in need that just need smiles from people that are working. Today! Tonight! Think about. Think about Santa! He works on Christmas! The elves work all Christmas Season! Even, The Virgin Mary! She went into labor on Christmas Eve! You can do this! C'mon!
Oh, I guess you′re right, Manila! You better work!
It's a working holiday, with Santa on his sleigh
A working holiday with you, with you, and you!
Yeah!
It's a working holiday, let′s work all night and day
It′s a working holiday with you
Hahaha!
The lyrics of "Working Holiday" by Manila Luzon & Alaska Thunderfuck depict a conversation between two individuals working in Santa's shop during the Christmas season. The first person expresses their frustration and disappointment with the holiday, feeling dispirited and seeing no joy in their work. They feel underpaid and overwhelmed, wanting to be anywhere else but there. Their negative attitude towards the holiday is highlighted through their sarcastic remarks.
However, the second person, presumably Alaska, tries to bring some positivity and perspective into the situation. They argue that Christmas is a time for giving and bringing happiness to others, emphasizing the importance of their work in making children happy. Though the first person is initially resistant to this perspective, they begin to see the value in what they are doing, acknowledging that it is nice to bring smiles to families. Despite their initial reluctance, they eventually come around to the idea of embracing the holiday spirit.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of sacrifice and dedication during the Christmas season. They compare their work to that of Santa Claus and his reindeer, as well as the hard work of the elves and even The Virgin Mary. This highlights the idea that Christmas is not just a time of celebration for individuals, but also a time for those who work to bring joy to others.
Ultimately, the song ends on a lighthearted note with both individuals acknowledging the necessity of their work and embracing the idea of working together during the holiday season. The playful laughter at the end shows that while they may have had initial reservations, they are now able to find humor and joy in their situation.
Overall, "Working Holiday" explores the conflicting emotions and attitudes towards working during the Christmas season, ultimately highlighting the importance of bringing happiness to others and finding joy in the work that one does.
