Klaatu - Everybody Took A Holiday Lyrics
It happened back in ancient timesWhen people worked overtime, overtimeIn fact I think in 1985Life was busy in the big cityAnd the union was sitting prettyIt wasn't easy to stay aliveAnd they'd run from the cityTo the sun and the countryAnd never quite get awayWhen the weekend cameEverybody took a holidayEverybody took a holidayOn a Sunday in JulyEverybody made up their mindsAnd when Monday rolled aroundNo one came homeAll the cities and streets were bareEverybody was having fun elsewhereAs the weeks went by no one came homeAnd the stores closed downAnd the cars stopped runningAnd the sky cleared day to dayBut no one caredEverybody took a holidayEverybody took a holidayBut the world has changed todayEveryone works in the usual wayBut at least we had one month awayThings are much, much slower nowPeople get away anyhow, anyhowAnd the weeked comesThey take a holidayAnd they run from the cityTo the sun and the countryAnd never quite get awayWhen the weekend cameEverybody took a holidayEverybody took a holiday
