Verse 1:

Wake up in the morning

Must make my bed

Brush all my teeth

Comb the hair on my head

Eat all my breakfast

My mom makes a fuss

Then rush out the door

Barely catching a bus

Filling my head with these figures and facts

When school is over

I take the bus back

The chores that are waiting

Just to be done

I thought being a kid would be fun



Chorus:

We need a vacation

From our daily vocation

Oh, oh, oh

It's not easy just being a kid

We're tired just thinking of all that we did

We need time away from

All the work and the hum-drum

Oh, oh, oh

Don't call us, we'll call you

We need some time off



Verse 2:

I love playing baseball and soccer

You bet!

But this is hard work

You should see how I sweat

Hide-and-seek is not easy

It's serious work

Climbing up trees

Getting covered with dirt

We keep up the schedule

Just day after day

We make our suggestions

They don't hear what we say

I'm burning my candle

Out at both ends

I'm taking time off with my friends



Chorus:

We need a vacation

From our daily vocation

Oh, oh, oh

It's not easy just being a kid

We're tired just thinking of all that we did

We need time away from

All the work and the hum-drum

Oh, oh, oh

Don't call us, we'll call you

We need some time off



Verse 3:

Can you picture it now

As we lie on the beach?

Tall frosting fruit punches

Just out of reach

Soaking our troubles away in the pool

Don't anyone dare mention school!



Chorus:

We need a vacation

From our kid life frustration

Oh, oh, oh

Don't call us, we'll call you

We need some time off

We need some time off



We're taking time off!
