Jimmy Buffet - Holiday Lyrics
The weather channel girl with her perfect weather curl
Is talkin' cold, cold, cold.
You can't get out of bed, you can't remember what you've said, you're feelin' old, old, old.
Is it a fever or depression, anger or obsession,
What's the remedy?
We're not talkin' rocket science, the answer to your question's
Very plain to see.
Chorus
You need a Holiday, (you need a holiday)
Take a Holiday (take a holiday).
Find a far-off wonderland where you might regain
Command of your life today.
Take a Holiday, (take a holiday) you need a Holiday (you need a holiday).
Grab a pack and hit the trail, take a sail
And wind up in some moonlit bay.
2nd Verse
You're caught up in the Internet,
You think it's such a great asset,
But you're wrong, wrong, wrong.
And all that fiber optic gear
Still cannot take away the fear like an island song.
Disregard confession, stop tryin' to make impressions
On your corporate climb.
It might come as quite a shock but you
Can't really own that rock,
It's just a waste of time (state of mind).
Chorus
So take a Holiday. You need a Holiday.
Find a place to find yourself, take your life
Down off that shelf,
Quit actin' so blase.
Take a Holiday. You need a Holiday.
Grab a pack and hit the trail, take a sail
And wind up in some moonlit bay.
(Trombone Instrumental)
(Steel Drum Instrumental)
3rd Verse
Well it's only up to you, no one else
Can tell you to
Go out and have some fun.
Though if you want to stay alive,
Evade the big nose dive,
Be a ko-mee-dee-yun.
Chorus
And take a Holiday. You need a Holiday.
Find a far-off wonderland where you might regain
Command of your life today.
Take a Holiday. You need a Holiday.
Grab a pack and hit the trail, take a sail
And wind up in some moonlit bay.
Chorus
So take a Holiday you need a Holiday.
Find a place to find yourself, take your
Life down off that shelf,
Quit actin' so blase.
Take a Holiday. You need a Holiday.
Grab a pack and hit the trail, take a sail
And wind up in some moonlit bay.
