We’re all goin’ on a summer holidayNo more workin’ for a week or twoFun and laughter on our summer holidayNo more worries for me or youFor a week or twoWe’re goin’ where the sun shines brightlyWe’re goin’ where the sea is blueWe’ve seen it in the moviesLet’s see if it’s trueEverybody has a summer holidayDoin’ things they always wanted toSo we’re goin’ on a summer holidayTo make our dreams come trueFor me and youWe’re goin’ where the sun shines brightlyWe’re goin’ where the sea is blueWe’ve seen it in the moviesSo let’s see if it’s trueEverybody has a summer holidayDoin’ things they always wanted toSo we’re goin’ on a summer holidayTo make our dreams come trueFor me and youIt’s a week or twoAnd a dream come true
