I got a place that I like to slip off to   When everything starts closin' in   And I got some ways that the world don't agree with   Yeah some folks would call it a sin   But I work like a dog and I'm good at my job   And I live for a one-day weekend   So I'm takin' off and I might stay a week   Hell I may never come back again      CHORUS 1: I need a breather, a sweet senorita   Writin' my name in the sand   I need a break from this job and this angry boss man   Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean   Just sit back and take it all in   I got the fever and I need a breather again      The people at work they think I'm a loner   But I need some time to myself   And I don't want to waste my precious vacation   Livin' for somebody else   'Cause I'll have a drink and I might fall down   And I don't think that they'd understand   I know it all sounds a little bit crazy   Well maybe that's just what I am      CHORUS 1      Things fell apart down at the office   And I'm getting blamed for it all   I've only been back for a couple of days   And I'm already climbin' the wall      CHORUS 2: Hey I need a breather, a stiff margarita   Bring 'em as fast as you can   'Cause I need a break from this job and this angry boss man   Some coconut lotion, a chair by the ocean   Just kick back and take it all in   Yeah I got the fever, I need a breather again   I got the fever and I need a breather again   Yes I do
