Vacation

Time out time off

Time to take my time

Time to find the brand new me

Time to lose my mind

I’ve been waiting all year for this right here

Transcendental relaxation

Don’t call me I won’t call you

This is my vacation

I’m getting in my car I’m going to put it into drive

I’m gonna head it down to New Orleans

Jambalaya hot coffee sweet

Looking at the girls on Bourbon Street

Buy a cheap seat in the Superdome

And watch them drive through the mud

Get up get down

Get me a Ring Ding and a Bud

I’m on vacation

But I’m on vacation

But I’m on vacation

Get me away from home

I got a cheap flight down to Jamaica I

’m gonna burn my northern hide

I’m gonna spread around the US currency

And I’m gonna keep it up till everybody’s friendly  

Meet a secretary from Illinois

Dance on a sandy beach

Get up get down

I got paradise in my reach

I’m on vacation

But I’m on vacation

But I’m on vacation

Get me away from home

And the fraternity brothers

Just got loose for spring

Loading up the Pinto driving down to Mexico

They won’t remember a thing

Bus out of Denver headed up to Aspen

With my skies and poles

Riding up the chair with a movie star

Brag about the fact that night at the bar

Redford says he likes my face

Say’s he’s got a mart for me

Get up get down

Tell my boss I’m history

I’m on vacation

But I’m on vacation

But I’m on vacation

Get me away from home

I’m on vacation

But I’m on vacation

But I’m on vacation

Get me away from home
