Verse 1:   Wake up in the morning   Must make my bed   Brush all my teeth   Comb the hair on my head   Eat all my breakfast   My mom makes a fuss   Then rush out the door   Barely catching a bus   Filling my head with these figures and facts   When school is over   I take the bus back   The chores that are waiting   Just to be done   I thought being a kid would be fun      Chorus:   We need a vacation   From our daily vocation   Oh, oh, oh   It's not easy just being a kid   We're tired just thinking of all that we did   We need time away from   All the work and the hum-drum   Oh, oh, oh   Don't call us, we'll call you   We need some time off      Verse 2:   I love playing baseball and soccer   You bet!   But this is hard work   You should see how I sweat   Hide-and-seek is not easy   It's serious work   Climbing up trees   Getting covered with dirt   We keep up the schedule   Just day after day   We make our suggestions   They don't hear what we say   I'm burning my candle   Out at both ends   I'm taking time off with my friends      Chorus:   We need a vacation   From our daily vocation   Oh, oh, oh   It's not easy just being a kid   We're tired just thinking of all that we did   We need time away from   All the work and the hum-drum   Oh, oh, oh   Don't call us, we'll call you   We need some time off      Verse 3:   Can you picture it now   As we lie on the beach?   Tall frosting fruit punches   Just out of reach   Soaking our troubles away in the pool   Don't anyone dare mention school!      Chorus:   We need a vacation   From our kid life frustration   Oh, oh, oh   Don't call us, we'll call you   We need some time off   We need some time off      We're taking time off!
