Lyrics
Come on! Come on! Come on! Let's go!
Come on! Come on! Let's go!
Come on! Come on! Come on! Let's go!
Come on! Come on! Let's go!
Vacation, need a little sun to break up
all the frustration and turn it into love.
And nobody's gonna tell us what we gonna do
because today it's up to me and you.
Temptation coming up to me,
A little brief relaxation and I'll be breaking free.
Come on and break it break it new and I believe it's gonna start now
(Kick it back, Kick it back, Kick it back to the track,
Kick it back, Kick it back, Kick it back and relax)
Vacation's where I wanna be
Party on the beach where the fun is free.
We don't need a holiday to start to celebrate
('Cuz I need a break, I need a vacation)
Vibrations, need to get me sun
and break up all my complications and turn it into love.
And nobody's gonna tell us where we gotta be
because today, today it's to you and me.
Vacation's what I wanna do
Party on the beach, fun for me and you.
We don't need a holiday to start to celebrate
(Repeat after me: "I need a vacation.")
Let's go!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Ooooo...
Let's go!
(I wanna be)
(Where the fun is free)
(So come with me)
Vacation's where I wanna be
Party on the beach where the fun is free.
We don't need a holiday to start to celebrate
('cuz I need a break, I need a vacation)
Vacation's where I wanna be
Party on the beach where the fun is free.
We don't need a holiday to start to celebrate
(Repeat after me: "I need a vacation")
I need a... (Vacation)
Come on and... (Vacation)
I need a... (Vacation)
Come on... (Vacation)
mmm... Let's go.
Vacation's where I wanna be
Party on the beach where the fun is free.
We don't need a holiday to start to celebrate
('cuz I need a break, I need a vacation)
Vacation's where I wanna be
Party on the beach where the fun is free
We don't need a holiday to start to celebrate
