I've been working too hard at the office all year

I've been saving all my days for a break

So I've gotta get away with my baby for a time

If it's just for my sanity's sake



Nothing but work and never no play

Make Jack a dull boy or so they say

And nothing in the world gonna make me stay

I've just got to get away for a day



Oh the smog in the city is clogging up my head

And the noise of the traffic and the poison lead

Too many people I must confess

I'm looking for the cure of a terminal stress



Take me to the sunshine

Take me to the sun



It's a perfect paradise and their ain't no trick

You can walk, you can run, play golf 'til you're sick

Swim all day, you can dance all night

You can even fall in love if you're feeling right



The surf will roar and the birds will sing

And the warm wind sighs as you practice your swing

And the cares of the world will fade away

As you watch the sun setting on a golden bay



They say that modern man needs to find himself

And what's bad for his spirit is bad for his health

And when the world's used up and there's nowhere else

You'll realise mother nature is the Commonwealth



Take me to the sunshine

Take me to the sun



Take me to the sunshine

Take me to the sun



I've been working too hard at the office all year

I've been saving all my days for a break

So I've gotta get away with my baby for a time

If it's just for my sanity's sake



Nothing but work and never no play

Make Jack a dull boy or so they say

And nothing in the world gonna make me stay

I've just got to get away for a day



Oh the smog in the city is clogging up my head

And the noise of the traffic and the poison lead

Too many people I must confess
