It's been a tough day
Like a week of mondays
And now things are

Gonna get crazier still
With the givin' and the gettin'
Of the holiday season

If the traffic don't kill ya
The damn shopping sure will


Flag me a taxi
Hell, I'll take santa's sleigh
And fly over rooftops

The old fashioned way
Drop into the bar
Just like ole' st. nick

With a cute little elf
And some spirits that kick


Jack's in the house
Let the party get started
Strike up the band

Let the boozin' begin
Hey bartender
I'll have the usual

One blonde one brunette
Some burbon some gin


Jack's in the house
Let the party get started!


Jacks' in the house
Let the party get started!


There ain't nothin'
Like a hot band
Burning up the room

Rhythm groovin'
Horn blowing the tunes
No matter how stressed

Ya get the rest of the year
You'll have a be-boppin time
Filled with holiday cheer


Jack's in the house
Let the party get started

Strike up the band
Let the boozin' begin
Hey bartender

I'll have the usual
One blonde one brunette
Some burbon some gin
