One Week

[Verse]
I’m gonna take my chair
Put it here in the sand  
And just stare at the ocean 
With a cold drink in my hand 
I’m gonna kick way back 
And try to clear my head
Gonna bake in that sun
Until I’m lobster red

[Verse]
While I’m sittin’ here 
I ain’t punchin’ no clock
Ain’t wearin’ no suit
And no shoes or socks
Gonna keep on chillin’ 
With a Caribbean buzz
From an umbrella drink
And some bottles of suds

[Chorus]
I’ve got one week to recuperate
From that 9 to 5 grind 
I’ll forget all about schedules
Livin’ on that island time
I’ve got one week to recharge 
From those conference calls
All the bosses emails 
And my cubicle’s four walls
I’ve only got one week…
But that week is all mine

[Kettle Drum Solo]

[Verse]
I got no where to go 
An all the time in the world 
Sittin’ here in paradise 
Surrounded by suntanned girls
It’d be so hard to pick one
In the setting sun’s light 
But I think I might try 
So we can dance through the night 

[Chorus]
I’ve got one week to recuperate
From that 9 to 5 grind 
I’ll forget all about schedules
Livin’ on that island time
I’ve got one week to recharge 
From those conference calls
All the bosses emails 
And my cubicle’s four walls
I’ve only got one week…
But that week is all mine

[Kettle Drum Solo]

[Verse]
Well my vacation is over
And it’s time to head home
I gotta try to sober up
Get on up and get gone
The sun’s startin’ to set
And I really shouldn’t wait
I’m gonna make it back home 
But I think I might be late 

[Bridge]
Might try me some of that island herb
And see if it’s good as I have heard 
They say you’ll forget all your troubles 
But you might end up seeing double 

[Chorus]
I’ve had one week to recuperate
From that 9 to 5 grind 
I forgot all about schedules
Livin’ on that island time
I’ve had one week to recharge 
From those conference calls
All the bosses emails 
And my cubicle’s four walls
I’ve only had one week…
But that week was all mine

[Final Chorus]
I’ve had one week to recuperate
From that 9 to 5 grind 
I forgot all about schedules
Livin’ on that island time
I’ve had one week to recharge 
From those conference calls
All the bosses emails 
And my cubicle’s four walls
I’ve only had one week…
But that week was all mine
