The rising sun pokes everyone right in the eye
It won't be long
Before he commands the whole world to come alive
But you know I'm taking a five from the run-around
Knocking the clock from the shelf from my bed
Then back to sleep but, someone keeps ringing the phone
I get no peace
Why can't they leave a lazy man alone
Oooh, better get dressed and together now
Trying to fake an excuse in my head
'Cause it's time to get away for the summer
All work and no play- that's no way to live a life
And I can't trade one for the other, oh no
Nor can I stop the days from going by
The setting sun bids everyone "have a goodnight"
But I'm not fooled
I know he's coming back at daylight
And maybe there's someone who gets him up in time
And who knows- maybe he'd rather laze instead of shine
'Cause it's time to get away for the summer
Please don't make me stay
I'm gonna go out of my mind
And I know there's so many others, oh yes
Can somebody stop the world from going by
'Cause it's time to get away for the summer
All work and no play- that's no way to live a life
And I can't trade one for the other, oh no
Nor can I stop the days from going by
