Klaatu - Everybody Took A Holiday lyrics

Everybody Took A Holiday (Dee Long) It happened back in ancient times when people worked overtime, overtime In fact I think in 1985 Life was busy in the big city And the union was sitting pretty It wasn't easy to stay alive. And they'd run from the city to the sun and the country And never quite get away When the weekend came everybody took a holiday, everybody took a holiday. On a Sunday in July, everybody made up there minds And when Monday rolled around no one came home All the cities and streets were bare Everybody was havin' fun elsewhere As the weeks went by no one came home! And the stores closed down and the cars stopped runnin' and the sky cleared day-to-day But no one cared everybody took a holiday, everybody took a holiday. But the world has changed today Everyone works in the usual way But at least we had one month away. Things are much, much slower now People get away anyhow, anyhow And the weekend comes they take a holiday. An they run from the city to the sun and the country An never quite get away When the weekend comes everybody takes a holiday Everybody took a holiday, Everybody took a holiday.
