One More Proof, Then We're Done

Eleven years you've run this Tulsa shop A little crew that never gets to stop Here comes a deadline rolling down the line And Denise walks in right on time A dozen donuts balanced in your hands You flash that grin and lay out the plan We know the words before you say them, though We've never once been done, and still we go

Crank up the presses, let the rollers run Grab a donut, Christmas ain't begun We'll never finish but we'll have some fun One more proof, then we're done

December's back, you've got the Secret Santa list You swear you've got no clue who's got who We all just smile and let the story slide 'Cause nothing in this building gets past you Next year the orders pile up to the sky And we'll be right behind you on the floor You'll swing that door with donuts held up high And promise us there won't be any more

Crank up the presses, let the rollers run Grab a donut, Christmas ain't begun We'll never finish but we'll have some fun One more proof, then we're done

Last December, two A-M, the street was dark You stayed to print the programs, page by page A school full of kids would sing their Christmas part You made sure they'd have them for the stage Then eight o'clock you're back with coffee for the crew No sleep, no fuss, just cups in every hand Thank you for keeping us together, Denise We'd come apart without you, piece by piece

Crank up the presses, let the rollers run Grab a donut, Christmas ain't begun We'll never finish but we'll have some fun One more proof, then we're done

Crank up the presses, let the rollers run Grab a donut, Christmas ain't begun Eleven years and we're still having fun One more proof, then we're done

One more proof (then we're done)
