?It?s Not A Vacation?
© 2003 Don Reynolds

Verse 1
I was determined to take a vacation this year
I went in the attic to get our camping gear
She was suppose to ask for a just few days off
We would go camping in the woods up north

Chorus
She said it?s not a vacation if I?m sleeping on the ground
If there?s not a waiter to bring another round
Of margarita?s to me on the beach
With the warm ocean waters lapping at my feet
A steel drum band knocking out a Latin beat
And Mai tais after lunch for an afternoon treat
It?s not a vacation if I?m sleeping on the ground
You can go camping but I?m staying here in town

Verse 2
I said we?ll go to the lake there?s a sandy beach there
They have a cold shower that you?re welcome to share
They don?t serve margaritas so I?ll buy us beer
And you can cook the fish I catch off the peer

Chorus - Repeat

Verse 3
I love her so very much, don?t know what I should do
So I put up a tent on a beach in Cancun
She?s in the local hotel, I see her everyday
But at least I don?t have to hear her say

Chorus - Alternate
It?s not a vacation if I?m sleeping on the ground
If there?s not a waiter to bring another round
Of margarita?s to me on the beach
With the warm ocean waters lapping at my feet
A steel drum band knocking out a Latin beat
And Mai tais after lunch for an afternoon treat
Shopping in the market for some new clothes to wear
Latte in a café out in the open air
And dancing at midnight on a polished marble floor
Breakfast in the morning brought to my door
It?s not a vacation if I?m sleeping on the ground
You can go camping but I?m staying here in town
I?ll see you later when you get back in town
