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!
