I guess I just like liking things

Britney has released one Christmas song, but she hasn’t ever released a full Christmas album. Give her time, as I expect it will happen eventually. In the meantime, she has given us a song that uses a word you can’t sing on the radio, causing it to be retitled “Work Work,” as silly a renaming as has ever been. We here at zwolanerd aren’t ones to let a potentially great thing go to waste, and after a bit of prompting by me, our friend Daniel over at Post Post Modern Dad has put together this reworking of the song into what should have become a fully animated and sung video, only I lack the abilities to a) make videos and b) sing like Britney.

So fire this video up in the background while you read this (disclaimer: that video has Britney’s original title and a picture of Britney’s outfit) and sing along yourself.

You wanna
You wanna
You want to steal presents?
You harbor a lot of resentment?
You want to wreck Christmas? You better work, Grinch!

You want to make Whos cry?
Steal all their pie?
Start setting up your alibi.
You better work, Grinch!

You got your big sled?
Suit all in red?
Are them Whos in bed?

Then get to work, Grinch
You better work, Grinch
You better work, Grinch
You better work, Grinch

[Verse 1]
Tie that horn on Max’s head
Stack your sacks on your empty sled
Those Whos will wake and be filled with dread
Mount up
Here he comes
He’s comin’ at ya
dressed up as Santa
He’s on your roof top
disappointment about to drop
Not gonna quit now
got work to do now
Get stuck in a chimney for a moment or two
Ain’t no thang because he has work to do

[Chorus]
[Verse 2]

Take those stockings from west to east
Everything in the fridge including the roast beast
Get the presents from under the tree
then even stuff that thing up the chimney

No time to gloat or to relax
Every house you need to attack
Got to take it all, up the chimney it goes
You are the big bad Grinch, gonna keep the Whos on their toes

[Bridge]

Cindy Lou Who, coming after you
asking about her string of lights and what you’re doin’ in the night
Gotta move quick and think quicker
Gotta move quick and think quicker
Cindy Lou Who, coming after you
asking about her string of lights and what you’re doin’ in the night
Gotta move quick and think quicker
Gotta move quick and think quicker

[Outro]

Work, work, work, work
Work, work, work, work
Work, work, work, work
Work, work, work, work
Work it out, work it out, work it out, work it out
Work it out, work it out, work it out, work it out
Work it out, work it out, work it out, work it out
Work it out, work it out
You better work Grinch
You better work Grinch
