There is a son who is waiting for his mother by the door
Rubbing sleep from his eyes
Quarter to one she is running down the paediatric ward
Past the twinkling lights
Lending her love
Sending a prayer home
Hoping her boy
Sleeps unaware so
Merry Christmas to doctors and the nurses at the hospital
Merry Christmas to people who are working for the rest of us
To the drivers, firefighters, heroes at the store
Happy Christmas to the working force
There is a girl who is waiting for her father to appear
On the screen in her hands
Other side of the world
He is working for her future over there
Hoping she'll understand
Lending his skill
Hoping she will know
Smiling through tears
Sending his love home
Merry Christmas to doctors and the nurses at the hospital
Merry Christmas to people who are working for the rest of us
To the drivers, firefighters, heroes at the stores
Happy Christmas to the working force
Merry Christmas to the soldiers
Happy new year to the pilots
Holiday cheer to the midwives
And the girls and boys in blue
Best of wishes to the people who are waiting for the people
Who are giving up their own time for me and you
Merry Christmas to doctors and the nurses at the hospital
Merry Christmas to people who are working for the rest of us
To the drivers, firefighters, heroes at the stores
Happy Christmas to the working force
Merry Christmas to the working force
