Everybody Took A Holiday Lyrics - Klaatu

It happened back in ancient times 

When people worked overtime overtime 

In fact I think in 1985 

Life was busy in the big city 

And the union was sitting pretty 

It wasn't easy to stay alive 

And they'd run from the city to the sun and the country 

And never quite get away 

When the weekend came 

Everybody took a holiday 

Everybody took a holiday 

On a Sunday in July 

Everybody made up their minds 

And when Monday rolled around no one came home 

All the cities and streets were bare 

Everybody was having fun elsewhere 

As the weeks went by no one came home 

And they'd run from the city to the sun and the country 

And never quite get away 

When the weekend came 

Everybody took a holiday 

Everybody took a holiday 

But the world has changed today 

Everyone works in the usual way 

But at least we had one month away 

Things are much much slower now 

People get away anyhow anyhow 

When the weekend comes they take a holiday
