THE FACILITY’S LOOKING A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS

A Facility Management-Inspired Interpretation For The Holidays

(To be sung to the tune of “It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas”)

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev’rywhere you go;
Take a look on the 15th floor, glistening once more
With candle sheaths and advent wreaths aglow.

facility managementIt’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
Ev’ry circuit blew
There’s also Kinara to see, and it’s likely there will be
a menorah too

At your facility, more flammability
In the extension cords times ten
Dolls that will squawk and Santas that will talk
Will certainly cause a din
And employees can hardly wait to start to fret again.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Ev’rywhere you go,
More paper clips in the ceiling and paint which is peeling
Caused by disapproved, no way it’s removed, faux snow

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas;
Soon the bills will start,
With janitorial umpteen and the carpet that they clean
Will go off the chart

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
Bad decor galore
But the ugliest sight to see is the scotch tape that will be
Fused to every door.
Sure it’s Christmas, once a-more
