I got a place that I like to slip off to

When everything starts closin' in

And I got some ways that the world don't agree with

Yeah some folks would call it a sin

But I work like a dog and I'm good at my job

And I live for a one-day weekend

So I'm takin' off and I might stay a week

Hell I may never come back again



I need a breather, a sweet senorita

Writin' my name in the sand

I need a break from this job and this angry boss man

Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean

Just sit back and take it all in

I got the fever and I need a breather again



The people at work they think I'm a loner

But I need some time to myself

And I don't want to waste my precious vacation

Livin' for somebody else

'Cause I'll have a drink and I might fall down

And I don't think that they'd understand

I know it all sounds a little bit crazy

Well maybe that's just what I am



I need a breather, a sweet senorita

Writin' my name in the sand

I need a break from this job and this angry boss man

Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean

Just sit back and take it all in

I got the fever and I need a breather again



Things fell apart down at the office

And I'm getting blamed for it all

I've only been back for a couple of days

And I'm already climbin' the wall



Hey I need a breather, a stiff margarita

Bring'em as fast as you can

'Cause I need a break from this job and this angry boss man

Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean

Just kick back and take it all in

Yeah I got the fever, I need a breather again

I got the fever and I need a breather again

Yes I do
