Holiday

By: Jimmy Buffett, Ralph MacDonald, Bill Eaton, William Salter

1996

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
