I NEED A VACATION
copyright 2004 By Joan Martin & Nyree Belleville

I work hard 50 weeks a year to get 2 weeks off the clock
So I can go and drink some beer and do some fishing off the dock
Instead I?m in a tie watching everybody cry
?Cause your cousin?s finally tying the knot

I need a vacation from this vacation
With no hassles or obligations
No telephone, nowhere to be
I just want sun and sand and you and me
It?s no exaggeration
I need a vacation

Of course, our flight was delayed, and our luggage got lost
For dinner, Aunt Millie made her famous liver mushroom sauce
The neighbors had a fight; dogs were barking half the night
Grandma woke us up at seven o?clock

I need a vacation from this vacation
With no hassles or obligations
No telephone, nowhere to be
I just want sun and sand and you and me
It?s a desperate situation
I need a vacation

You lost your purse, the kids got sick
The car broke down at Oak and 5th
My job seems like a walk in the park compared to all of this

I need a vacation from this vacation
With no hassles or obligations
No telephone, nowhere to be
I just want sun and sand and you and me
I need a vacation from this vacation
No alarm clocks or invitations
No fancy clothes, no one to see
I just want palm trees and a tropical breeze
A little sun and sand and you and me
So let?s call in sick and take one more week
Let?s give in to temptation
?Cause I need a vacation
