[Verse 1]
C                                 G
Eight o'clock: Get up, get out of bed,
                                 Am
I feel like a truck went over my head;
                   F          G
another day of stress and sorrow.
C                               G
Skip breakfast 'cause I have to go;
                              Am
'ain't got no time to take it slow
                 F      G
and I will do my hair tomorrow.
Am                F
I can take it no more, o no no no.
Am                       G
Is this what I'm living for?

[Chorus]
             F           C
But my uncle John from Jamaica
         G             C
keeps on calling every day:
            F          C             G         C
"Just buy a ticket and take a summer holi- holiday!"
         F           C

[Verse 2]
C                                G
Six o'clock: My job is still not done.
                              Am
The life I'm living ain't no fun;
                F          G
to many days of stress and sorrow.
C                            G
My boss just won't give me a break
                            Am
and this is more than I can take.
                       F     G
Think I will quit this job tomorrow
Am               F
I can take it no more, o no no no.
Am                       G
Is this what I'm living for?

Everybody needs a holi- holiday.
