going through the motions
day in and day out
the same bored faces
bicker and fight

the garden is a jungle
the house a mess
working day and night
was not a success

we should take a vacation
and go somewhere far away
we should lie in the sun
dreaming our troubles away

we can
swim in the pool
stroll through old towns
sleep on the beach
discover new grounds

walk through the hills
eat strange fruit
picnic on the green grass
the sky is bright blue

we should take a vacation
and go somewhere far away
we should lie in the sun
dreaming our troubles away

I don't care if we travel
by bus, train or plain
as long as we are together
preferably without rain

we should go on vacation
and go somewhere far away
we should lie in the sun
dreaming our troubles away

ooh vacation
I like to have it
the whole year long

ooh vacation
I like to have it
the whole year long

ooh vacation
I want to have it
the whole year long

all this work
day after day
I'm so frustrated
I want to go away
