Holiday

Sometimes life can knock you down
Just gotta pick your ass up off the ground
Probably don't matter anyway
'Cause in the end it's gonna be ok
Because life's a holiday
Don't wanna go and work harder
Just to keep my head above water
Can't hear what teacher's trying to say
'Cause it makes no sense now anyway
And tomorrow's another day
And I just wanna play
'Cause I know that we'll be ok
'Cause Life's a holiday
I'm sorry
For my, my blasphany
It's just my way
And I'll stay
Because life's a holiday

Holiday

Well the super models in those magazines
They've been to places that I've never dreamed
Well they look so nice out on some sandy beach
But for me I've always found it out of reach
Ooooooooo take me on a holiday
Ooooooooo I need a holiday
The hotel and life for me would be alright
We could always catch an early mornin' flight
As you treat yourself like in a movie scene
But its just another place I've never been
Ooooooooo take me on a holiday
Ooooooooo I need a holiday
I call you up on your telephone
And leave a message there since your not home
I've got to go I've got to get away
Please come and take me on a holiday
Ooooooooo take me on a holiday
Last nite I dreamed I was in Sante Fe
And then went on a flight to San Jose
Well I know that you don't really like to fly
But to see the world maybe you'd like to try
Ooooooooo take me on a holiday
Ooooooooo I need a holiday
Ooooooooo take me on a holiday
Need a holiday

Summertime

(leonard cohen/sharon robinson)
Summertime when will you come
I wanna put my light things on
I wanna put my winter life away
Summertime I need a sunny day
I want those peaches on the table
I want the watermelon red
And the warm sun creeping through the window
To ease me out of bed
I want the sand out there to lie on
And the sea out there to swim
So my heart can take a holiday
From breakin over him
Summertime when will you come
I wanna put my light things on
I wanna put my winter life away
Summertime I need a sunny day
And I want to drive forever
Wanna roll the windows down
Get the breeze back on my body
Get my feet back on the ground
I want the sand out there to lie on
And the sea out there to swim
So my heart can take a holiday
From breakin over him
Summertime when will you come
I wanna put my light things on
I wanna put my winter life away
Summertime I need a sunny day

Living In Sin

I know you write me sexy letters, and you send your pictures for my wall
You found the hotel where Im stayin
And you built up the nerves and then you called
Chorus:
Im living in sin (at the holiday inn)
At the holiday inn, yeah (living in sin)
Im living in sin (at the holiday inn)
At the holiday inn (just living in sin)
You tell me, you want me to protect you, but sometimes my love can go too far
Deep in your heart you wanna love me, come closer, I know who you are
Chorus
Deep in your heart you wanna love me, come closer, I know who you are
I know who you are
(phonecall)
I know you write me sexy letters, but sometimes my love can go too far
Chorus
(living in sin) Im living in sin (holiday - at the holiday inn)
(living in sin) at the holiday inn, yeah (holiday - living in sin)
(living in sin) wont you open the door (holiday - at the holiday inn)
(living in sin) wont you come on (in) out (in) out

Thank God Its Monday

Cause they feel like saturdays
When you dont gotta go to work everyday is a holiday
I wake up when I want to do anything I wanna do
Cant wait for tuesday

Sold out at the movies cant eat at the restaurant
Everyone whants to party but the bars full of cigarette smoke

Holiday

Drinkin my wine, makes me feel fine,
Gonna have me a holiday
Poormans party, rich mans daughter,
Gettin hotter and hotter.
Shes pushin way too hard
I dont want any part of her way
Drinkin my wine, makes me feel fine,
Gonna have me a holiday.
Its a holiday, its a holiday
Mama, mama, please no more jaguars
I dont want to be a pop star
Mama, mama, please no more deckhands
I dont want to be a sailor man
Mama, mama, please no more facelifts
I just dont know which one you is
Mama, mama, please no more husbands
Drinkin my wine, wastin my time
Hidin out in my rented dream
Lookin for attention

Life magazine
Ask the chauffeur who he knows
Numbers hes got, lots of those.
Drinkin my wine, spendin my time
Tryin to run from this halloween.
Its a holiday, its a holiday
Mama, mama, please no more jaguars
I dont want to be a pop star
Mama, mama, please no more deckhands
I dont wanna be a sailor man
Mama, mama, please no more facelifts
I just dont know which one you is
Mama, mama, please no more husbands
I dont know who my daddy is.

Pleasant Thoughts

A holiday, a holiday,
a real chance to get away.
To catch a plane, a boat, a train,
or cruise on down the inside lane.
With different views and how-do-you-dos,
and many interesting venues.

A holiday, a holiday.
Having found a place to stay,
enjoy the sights that greet the eyes,
sea, sun and sand with clear blue skies.
All of these things can so make your break,
a time to rest and ruminate.

A holiday, a holiday,
well inland, or out in a bay.
Sail a yacht maybe. Play a spot
of golf. Then if it gets too hot,
rest beside a pool. And to cool down,
take a dip, or turn a glowing brown.

A holiday, a holiday.
Book it right now with no delay.
Choose somewhere you would like to be,
locations for serenity,
siestas out under the stars,
or ones for fun and noise in bars.

A holiday, a holiday.
There’s something that I want to say.
Have a really long super spell,
of relaxation. One can dwell
on pleasant thoughts. Troubles to quell.
Revival of body and mind,
rejuvenating humankind.

Holiday

Key: G
(w/m by Jimmy Buffett)
The weather channel girl with her perfect weather curl
Is talkin' cold, cold, cold.
You can't get out of bed, you can't remember what you've said,
You're feelin' old, old, old.
Is it a fever or depression, anger or obsession,
What's the remedy?
We're not talkin' rocket science, the answer to your question's
Very plain to see.
Chorus: You need a Holiday, (you need a holiday) take a Holiday (take a
holiday).
Find a far-off wonderland where you might regain
Command of your life today.
Take a Holiday, (take a holiday) you need a Holiday (you need a holiday).
Grab a pack and hit the trail, take a sail
And wind up in some moonlit bay.
2nd Ver: You're caught up in the Internet,
You think it's such a great asset, but you're wrong, wrong, wrong.
And all that fiber optic gear
Still cannot take away the fear like an island song.
Disregard confession, stop tryin' 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 (state of mind).
Chorus: So take a Holiday. You need a Holiday.
Find a place to find yourself, take your life down off that shelf,
Quit actin' so blase.
Take a Holiday. You need a Holiday.
Grab a pack and hit the trail, take a sail
And wind up in some moonlit bay.
Trombone Instrumental (C / Cm6 / G / D-2 / E-2 / Am / D-2 / D+ 2 / G / G7 )
Steel Drum Instr (C / Cm6 / G / D-2 / E-2 / Am / D-2 / D+ 2 / G / -notes
B-Bb-A-Ab-G)
3rd Ver: Well it's only up to you, no one else can tell you to
Go out and have some fun.
Though if you want to stay alive, evade the big nose dive,
Be a ko-mee-dee-yun.
Chorus: And take a Holiday. You need 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 moonlit bay.
Chorus: So take a Holiday. You need a Holiday.
Find a place to find yourself, take your life down off that shelf,
Quit actin' so blase.
Take a Holiday. You need a Holiday.
Grab a pack and hit the trail, take a sail
And wind up in some moonlit bay.

Put A Little Holiday In Your Heart

(roger wojahn/scott wojahn/greg wojahn)
Feel the cold wind blowing-winters coming on
tis the season, so they say
If you need help believing cause your spirit aint too strong
Hold my hand--well push that cloud away
Put a little holiday in your heart
Itll put a little shuffle in your step
Give you a song that you can sing
With a melody you cant forget
And if you wanna join in a little harmony
To keep the world from tearin apart
Well you know where to look
Yeah--you gotta put a little holiday in your heart
Theres a man on the corner who doesnt have a name
People pass and turn their heads away
But to share a simple kindness would set your heart aflame
And youll get more than youll ever give away
Put a little holiday in your heart
Itll put a little shuffle in your step
Give you a song that you can sing
With a melody you cant forget
And if you wanna join in a little harmony
To keep the world from tearin apart
Well you know where to look
Yeah--you gotta put a little holiday in your heart
It starts with you, it starts with me
That aint no stranger, hes family and it dont matter if we agree
It all comes down to love
Put a little holiday in your heart
Itll put a little shuffle in your step
Give you a song that you can sing
With a melody you cant forget
And if you wanna join in a little harmony
To keep the world from tearin apart
Well you know where to look
Yeah--you gotta put a little holiday in your heart

I Don't Wanna Work

Well i give it little care
Does anybody out there even know
I'm in here?
I just keep my movement going
Somewhere
Like playing in the background baby
Like playing in the background baby
I play the game
You play the way that most men would choose
I'm surprised at you
Way back in the middle of a broken down love affair
You and i found each other
And we fell in love
I ain't never met a man and woman get along better
Than you and i when get together
Still i say
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
Don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
Don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
Not if it makes me cry
No no
See the lady walking down the street
She's got on high heel shoes
And her hair full of curlers
She's got stiletto nails
And some black mascara
She's got a push up and a pick up
I tell you that girl's working overtime
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
Don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
Not if it makes me cry
No no no no no no
I don't wanna work
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work it if makes me cry
Spent last night
Talking to myself in bed
Wondering why i do this over
Over and over again
I don't know
I, i, i, i don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work that hard
Not when it makes me cry
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work not that hard
I don't wanna work it it makes me cry
I don't wanna work that hard
I don't wanna work not that hard
I don't wanna work if it makes me cry

Holiday

Holiday,
Oh what a lovely day today,
Im so glad they sent me away,
To have a little holiday today, holiday,
Holiday,
And Im just standing on the end of a pier,
Hoping and dreaming you were here,
To share my little holiday,
Lookin in the sky, for a gap in the clouds,
Sometimes I think that sun aint never coming out,
But Id rather be here than in that dirty old town,
I had to leave the city cos it broke me down,
Oh holiday, oh what a lovely day today,
I think Ill get down on my little knees and pray, thank you lord,
Thank heaven for this holiday, holiday,
Im leaving insecurity behind me,
The environmental pressures got me down,
I dont need no sedatives to pull me round,
I dont need no sleeping pills to help me sleep sound,
Oh holiday,
Oh what a lovely day today,
I think Ill get down on my knees and pray,
Thats what Ill do,
Thank heaven for this holiday,
Lying on the beach with my back burned rare,
And the salt gets in my blisters and the sand gets in my hair,
And the seas an open sewer,
But I really couldnt care,
Im breathing through my mouth so I dont have to sniff the air,
Oh holiday,
Oh what a lovely day today,
Im so glad they sent me away,
To have a little holiday.

Happy Holiday / White Christmas

Happy Holiday

Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
Why the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true
Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
May the calender keep bringing
Happy holiday to you
I'm dreaming of a white christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
I'm dreaming of a white christmas
With every christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your christmases be white
Happy Holiday
Happy Holiday
Why the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true
Happy Holiday

May the calender keep bringing
The most happy holiday to you

It's A Beautiful Life

You can do what you want
Just seize the day
What you're doing tomorrow's
Gonna come your way.
Don't you ever consider giving up,
You will find, oooh
It's a beautiful life, oooh
It's a beautiful life, oooh
It's a beautiful life, oooh.
I just wanna be here beside you
And stay until the break of dawn
Take a walk in the park
When you feel down.
There's so many things there
That's gonna lift you up
See the nature in bloom a laughing child
Such a dream, oooh
It's a beautiful life, oooh
It's a beautiful life, oooh
It's a beautiful life, oooh.
I just wanna be here beside you
I just wanna be here beside you
And stay until the break of dawn
You're looking for somewhere to belong.
You're standing all alone
For someone to guide you on your way
Now and forever
It's a beautiful life, oooh
It's a beautiful life, oooh
It's a beautiful life, oooh.
I just wanna be anybody
We're living in different ways
It's a beautiful life
I'm gonna take you to a place
I've never been before, o yeah
It's a beautiful life
I'm gonna take you in my arms
And fly away with you tonight
It's a beautiful life, oooh...

Low Life

Ive been on my best behaviour
My conscience is a little too clean
My halos just a little too tight now
Im tired of the old routine
So baby lets get down and dirty
Forget about right from wrong
I wanna sleep in a cheap motel room
With nothing but the tv on
We need a little of the low life
To keep our feet on the ground
Just a little of the low life
Sooner or later we gotta get down to the low life
Yeah !
Well I dont wanna talk religion
Dont wanna talk politics
I dont wanna talk at all babe
I just wanna get my kicks
So cmon baby let your hair down
You can chuck your pearls out the door
Just a little black lace and a smile on your face
Never need nothing more.
We need a little of the low life
To keep our feet on the ground
Just a little of the low life
Sooner or later we gotta get down to the low life
Yeah
Im talking low babe
Now baby you dont wanna talk about your day
And you sure dont wanna hear bout mine
Ill meet you at the notell motel
Underneath the vacancy sign
We need alittle of the low life
To keep our feet on the ground
Just a little of the low life
Yeah sooner or later you gotta get down to the low life
Just a little bit of foolin around
We need a little of the low life
Oh babe
We need a little of the low low life yeah
Lets get down and dirty low, low life

It's My Life (original Version)

I gotta reputation,
People know who I am.
Rules are made to be broken,
Can't kill what you don't understand.
I see you runnin' scared,
I never knew you cared.
Go and hide yourself in the sand.
Been to hell and back.
I survived and that's a fact.
(Chorus)
It's my life.
And I'll do what I wanna
Do what I wanna,
Do what I like.
It's my life
And I'll do what I wanna,
Do what I wanna - do.
My New Year's resolution,
Is a always the same.
Gonna do what I like,
We're gonna do what I want,
Cause it's just my way,
Yeah!
I don't live for tomorrow,
Cause at the end of the day.
Gonna shout it, from the roof.
Betta face up to the truth.
(Chorus)(Repeat twice)
Ooh yeah!
(Break)
Don't need a invitation,
I don't play hard-to-get.
No!
Well I'm fame they claim,
I can't be tamed.
Ya know it doesn't matter.
I swear if I like,
I wear what I want.
(Chorus) (Repeat five times)

Force Of Habit

Too much coffee's gonna shatter my nerves,
too much whiskey's gonna stutter my words
A whole lotta speed gonna take me to fast,
how much longer can I last
Too many women gonna put me to waste,
too much money gonna spoil my taste
Doctor says to slow down if you wanna stay alive,
how am I gonna survive - I wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know, oh yea
Been working to hard don't got no time to rest,
don't look to well I ain't feeling my best
Can't push much harder before I fall on the ground,
I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown
I've gotta slow down,
get my feet on the ground, yeah
I better slow down fast,
today could be my last, all right

The Island poem.

The Island was there surrounded by sea,

Where the family stayed, so much to see;

The birds flying in the sky, and on the water too,

Yes! They were enjoying their holiday, it's true.


The Island stretched for many a mile, they could see,

With plenty of shells, and sand, the sunsets so pretty;

The Coconut palms, and date palms, to walk in the cool,

And the children enjoyed it all, for there was no school.


The husband enjoyed to go fishing each day,

The children loved to run on the sand and play;

The wife, she enjoyed it too, to rest under the tree,

Then she called them all at night, it is time for tea.


The Island holiday soon came to an end,

The children said, our holiday we can pretend;

That we are still on our lovely holiday retreat,

And remember the birds, and the birds so sweet.


Have you ever been to an Island, for a holiday?

Maybe you travelled far, to Queensland, is what you'd say;

Or was it somewhere in the Islands of the south see?

You'll know it was a holiday to feel so very free.
