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!
