lyrics

down at the holiday business camp
folks checked in for the corporate event
the workers are eager to understand
what goes on ‘tween the ears of man
the bags are carried to the rooms of saints
so begins the rounds of endless complaints
but a tip can bridge the language gap
everyone loves a good spanish lap dance
there’s sweat and there’s blood on the backs of their hands
quenching their thirst with the fat of the land
just as sure as there’s mud on the ground where they stand
down at the bar they’re having too much fun
deals are sealed when the bottle is done
late night blue movies for the swinger set
pajama parties for the loneliest
during the day the sexes segregate
the learning curve turns out to be straight
the wives are working hard to operate
that successful spouse they can’t tolerate
there’s sweat and there’s blood on the backs of their hands
quenching their thirst with the fat of the land
just as sure as there’s mud on the ground where they stand
sales to pitch ‘tween havana cigars
on the steps of this hotel seminar
with a little luck they might climb that ladder to the stars
they’re changing their partners like underwear
exotic dancers eliciting stares
we’re having the times of our lives this year
wish you were here
they did the spa with their morning legs
had a facial of bacon and eggs
the hired hands sweeped up the ageless dregs
and turned it into tomorrow’s buffet
there goes another tour out the door
workers laughed themselves on the floor
everyone took home their just desserts
everyone got just what they deserved
there’s sweat and there’s blood on the backs of their hands
quenching their thirst with the fat of the land
just as sure as there’s mud on the ground where they stand
