Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na hey, hey, hey

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na hey, hey, hey

[Verse 2]

Eight o'clock, get up, get out of bed

I feel like a truck ran over my head

Another day of stress and sorrow

Skip breakfast, 'cause I gotta go

Ain't got no time to take it slow

And I will do my hair tomorrow

[Verse 3]

I can't take it no more

Oh, no, no, no

Is this what I'm living for?

[Verse 4]

But my Uncle John from Jamaica

Keeps on callin' every day

Just buy a ticket and take a summer holi-holiday

My Uncle John from Jamaica

Keeps on callin' every day

Just buy a ticket and take a summer holi-holiday

[Verse 5]

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na hey, hey, hey

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na hey, hey, hey

[Verse 6]

Six o'clock, my job is still not done

The life I'm living ain't no fun

Too many days of stress and sorrow

My boss just won't give me a break

And this is more than I can take

Think I will quit this job tomorrow

[Verse 7]

I can't take it no more

Oh, no, no, no

Is this what I'm living for?

[Verse 8]

But my Uncle John from Jamaica

Keeps on callin' every day

Just buy a ticket and take a summer holi-holiday

My Uncle John from Jamaica

Keeps on callin' every day

Just buy a ticket and take a summer holi-holiday

[Verse 9]

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na hey, hey, hey

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na hey, hey, hey

[Verse 10]

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na hey, hey, hey

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na hey, hey, hey

[Verse 11]

I need a holi-holiday

You need a holi-holiday

We need a holi-holiday

Everybody needs a holi-holiday

[Verse 12]

But my Uncle John from Jamaica

Keeps on callin' every day

Just buy a ticket and take a summer holi-holiday

My Uncle John from Jamaica

Keeps on callin' every day

Just buy a ticket and take a summer holi-holiday

[Verse 13]

But my Uncle John from Jamaica

Keeps on callin' every day

Just buy a ticket and take a summer holi-holiday
