Too many days I've been working hard
I think it's time to get away
Working sixty hours each week
Is way too much I say
It's time to plan a trip
A time to get away
To points due south
That's what I feel this day
Packed my bags got to the airport
And boarded my plane
Now we're heading for Jamaica
Or maybe Martinique
Looking for a great vacation
For at least the next few weeks
We need to mellow out now
That's one thing that's for sure
White sand blue water and palm trees
That is what I now seek
We flew into Miami
On our way to paradise
Our flight to the islands
Had not arrived yet
We sat around for hours
Just trying to get away
And then the flight was cancelled
Not leaving here today
We're not heading for Jamaica
Or maybe Martinique
Not having a great vacation
But maybe soon I think
We need to mellow out now
That's one thing that's for sure
White sand, blue water and palm trees
That is what I now seek
So now it is tomorrow
Will our flight be here today
We headed to our gate
Looks like we might just get away
The plane was waiting on the tarmac
And calling out our names
We taxied down the runway
And to the air we did take
Now we're heading for Jamaica
Or maybe Martinique
Looking for a great vacation
For at least the next few weeks
We need to mellow out now
That's one thing that's for sure
White sand, blue water and palm trees
That is what I now seek
