Ahhh Ahh, I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing that I need
I don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want staff for my own.
More than you could ever know.
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is…. new staff

I don’t want a lot for Christmas.
There is just one thing I need.
Don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don’t need to hang my stocking, thereupon the fireplace.
Santa Claus won’t make me happy.
With toy staff on Christmas Day
I just want real staff of my own.
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is ooh ooh ooh oh oh new staff
***
Oh I won’t ask for much this Christmas.
I won’t even wish for snow.
I wanna keep on listed on Indeed and the Linkedin show
I won’t make a list and send it to recruiters or Saint Nick
I won’t even stay awake to worry about the budget risk
Cause, I just want you here tonight
Planning a retention fight.
What more can I do?
Baby, all I want for Christmas is ooh ooh ooh oh oh new staff
***
All the lights are shining so brightly everywhere
And the sound of children’s laughter fills the air.
And everyone is singing, I hear those sleigh bells ringing.
Santa, won’t you bring me the staff I really need.
Won’t you please bring them to me quickly
I don’t want a lot for Christmas, this is all I’m asking for.
I just wanna see my new staff standing right outside my door.
I just want them for my own.
More than you could ever know.
Make my wish come true.
Baby, all I want for Christmas is ooh ooh ooh oh oh new staff
