Xmas For Mercedes

Gareth Jones On Speed - It’s Christmas For Mercedes (Once Again)

Toto Wolff is howling
He’s over the Moon
A Silver Arrow succeeds again
Served on silver spoon

Bono on the pit wall
Made Lewis an honest pledge
They gave him a winning car,
He knows they’ve got the edge

CHORUS
The board at Daimler’s thinking
Long may we reign
The staff all pocket a big cash bonus
It’s Christmas for Mercedes once again.

Yes the board in Stuttgart’s thinking
Long may we reign
As the staff all pocket a big cash bonus,
It’s Christmas for Mercedes once again.

Bottas isn’t number two
Don’t make me laugh
Lewis is definitely Number One
Valtteri one and a half

But Lewis is celebrating
He’s drinking vegan beer
Now the racing season’s over
It’s the most wonderful time of the year

CHORUS
Oh the board at Daimler’s thinking
Long may we reign
The staff all pocket a big cash bonus,
It’s Christmas for Mercedes once again.

Yeah the board in Stuttgart’s thinking
Long may we reign
As the staff all pocket a big cash bonus,
It’s Christmas for Mercedes once again.

MIDDLE 8
The staff in Brixworth and Brackley
Could not be any prouder
We’ve got to mention the boss they lost
Lovely sweary Niki Lauda.
He’s gone but we still hear his voice
"We’ve got lots of bloody of work to do
Ferrari’s looking quick again now boys”.

But winning isn’t everything
What about quality of life?
Hard work piles the pressure
On both husbands and wives.

But now the staff should celebrate
And party hard with glee
Because first thing on Boxing Day
They’ll be back at work at the bloody factory

CHORUS
Oh the board at Daimler’s thinking
Long may we reign
The staff all pocket a big cash bonus,
It’s Christmas for Mercedes once again.

Yeah the board in Stuttgart’s thinking
Long may we reign
As the staff all pocket a big cash bonus,
It’s Christmas for Mercedes,
It’s Christmas for Mercedes,
It’s Christmas for Mercedes
Once again.
