Two Week Vacation Lyrics

One dollar bills

Cover the walls of this bar

There's something in the air

You ain't got to go far

The locals drink the rum around here

And the visitors drink all the beer

I've never been so drunk before

And somehow see so clear

And two weeks vacation ain't gonna work

Cause I'm hooked on a buzz of an island curse

And they say that I'm lost but what I found

Was a kind of living and a summer that lasts all year round

There's pictures on the walls

From hundreds of years ago

The Spanish and their king

Against their pirate foes

And they'll tell you tales about

The robbers and the saints

And all the reasons why

The islands took their names

And two weeks vacation ain't gonna work

Cause I'm hooked on a buzz of an island curse

And they say that I'm lost but what I found

Was a kind of living and a summer that lasts all year round

Now I read the story

Of "The Old Man and the Sea"

And after some living

I'm starting to believe

That two weeks vacation ain't gonna work

Cause I'm hooked on a buzz of an island curse

And they say that I'm lost but what I found

Was a kind of living

A new kind of living

And a summer that lasts

All year round
