Now I've been watching you close now lately,

And I've noticed the ways you have changed.

And I know you've been with that lady,

When you say you've been with your friends.



This is not a Holiday.

This is not a Holiday, ye ye ye

Oooh, such a special day.

This is not a Holiday.

~

Daddy in the back room, bustin out the bass booms.

Bobbie on the radio.

Richie with a funky beat.

Momma picking up her feet.

Dancing to the radio.

Now I've been listening to what you've been saying now lately.

And I know that you're telling those lies.

And I can tell you've been with that lady.

I can tell when I look in your eyes.

This is not a Holiday.

This is not a Holiday, ye ye ye

Oooh, such a special day.

This is not a Holiday.

Daddy in the back room, bustin out the bass booms.

Bobbie on the radio.

Richie with a funky beat.

Momma picking up her feet.

Dancing to the radio.
