In the spirit of the season.
tune of god rest ye merry gentlemen.
God rest ye merry excavators,
nothing you dismay.
We fear your Christmas break this year,
will not be marked by pay..
The Project Spec's just don't reflect,
your need of Christmas cheer..
Your contracts will be renewed next year,
Renewed next year..
Your contracts will be renewed next year.
Though fingers froze and frostbit toes
did drive you to despair,
Your need to eat cannot compete,
with budgetary woes..
Your valued skills are needed chums,
just sod off till '06 (has come..)
chorus
On Christmas night when money's tight,
remember that you chose..
Sporadic unemployment and fiscal ebbs and flows.
Your job is a vocation, you don't get
paid vacations..
chorus.
Employment rights are fine on site,
until the Yuletide nears..
For Santa Claus read Contract Clause and
mutter in your beer..
Accountants wrote your terms of work so
see you all next year..
Chorus.
One day there'll be a law they say,
to put an end to this..
Until such time employers are
free to take the p*ss.
Collect your papers, don't be sore,
We'll see you in '06..
Your Contract will be renewed next year'
Renewed next yearrrr..!
Your contract will be renewed next year.
Happy Christmas all.
Throwing in the trowel.
