The weather channel girl
With her perfect weather curl
Is talking cold, cold, cold
You can't get out of bed
You can't remember what you've said
You're feeling old, old, old

Is it fever or depression
Anger or agression
What's the remedy?
We're not talking rocket science
The answer to your question's
Very plain to see

Chorus
You need a holiday
Take 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 moonlight bay

You're caught up in the internet
You think it's such a great asset
But you're wrong, wrong, wrong
All that fiber optic gear
Still cannot take away the fear
Like an island song

Disregard confession
Stop trying 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

So, take a holiday
You need a holiday
Find a place to find yourself
Take your life down off that shelf
Quit acting so blase

Take a holiday
You need a holiday
Grab a pack and hit the trail
Take a sail
And wind up in some moonlight bay

Well it's only up to you
No one else can teach you to
Go out and have some fun
Though if you want to stay alive
Evade the big nose dive
Be a comedian

And take a holiday
You need a holiday
Find a far off wonderland
Where you might regain command
Of yourlife today

Take a holiday
You need a holiday
Grab a pack and hit the trail
Take a sail
And wind up in some moonlight bay

You need a holiday
Take a holiday
Find a place to find yourself
Take your life down off that shelf
Quit acting so blase

Take a holiday
You need a holiday
Grab a pack and hit the trail
Take a sail
And wind up in some moonlight bay
