Help with song name from possible incorrect lyrics

[theplayingmantis]

Driving me crazy as can't recall what song this is

Heard in b&q when looking at trees today.

Included a line something like 'wouldve been nice to go for lunch' female singer, a very distinctive repeated chorus of de de dadda...

Or maybe a drink instead of lunch as it's becoming hazy it then goes on to say something about not having time or fitting it in

Stab in dark but really irritating.

Pleas help!

Could have been 'Christmas Wrapping Paper' by the Waitresses. 1981. It was dismissed as a Blondie rip off.

[Mr Pointy]

The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping?

"Would've been good to go for lunch
Couldn't agree when we were both free"

To add I googled the exact lunch lyrics and nothing came up all Billie eilosh stuff

Google song identity actually worked thitd time as well off my humming.
Miraculous

Now to get this crappy ear worm out of head

Favourite Christmas song!

If you want another slice of The Waitresses check out I know What Boys Like:

I think it was used in an ad in the last couple of years?

I was saddened to read, when checking them out a bit, that Patty Donahue (the singer) died aged only 40 from lung cancer

Apt that she is smoking in the video.
