"Do They Know It's Fitzmas?" (For Fitzgerald's Team):

[the_spectator]

Well someone started a thread on GD asking whether we think Fitz himself has heard of Fitzmas, and saying we know he isn't surfing the web. And that's right. He and his team must be working themselves ragged while we sit here and make merry. So here's the song what I wrote (altered.) I don't think it's half bad:

It's Fitzmastime
There's no need to be afraid
At Fitzmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Fitzmastime

But say a prayer

Pray for the other ones
At Fitzmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world inside their office
Flourescents' artificial pall
Where the only water flowing is in the cooler down the hall
And the Fitzmas bells that ring there are their buzzing blackberries
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of me -

And there won't be joy in cubicles this Fitzmastime
The greatest gift they'll get's their puny check
(G-Men lawyers' pay's so low
Pirvate-firm guys laugh, you know)
So do they know it's Fitzmastime at all?

(Here's to you) raise a glass for Fitzgerald's Team
(Here's to them) working nights while others dream
Do they know it's Fitzmastime at all?

Spread the word, Spread the word, Spread the Word -
Let them know it's Fitzmastime again!
