Lyrics
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 I'm looking for the cure of a terminal stress
