When the layoff notice came, I was surprised
I didn't think I'd be the one to get downsized
I cleaned my desk and drove home, cranked up the stereo
Buffett, Byrd, and Marley, couple shots of Cuervo
I had the time I dreamed of, while at my desk all day
So I went exploring beaches, found some new ways to play

CHORUS
Every Day is a Holiday
Got no work and got no pay
Leisure time's just a state of mind
When Every Day's a Holiday

I got re-employed to afford Pacifico and pizzas
And crammed the rest of my life back into nights and weekends
They can rent my body; the rest is mine to play with
I'll keep vacation thinking whether in my cube or sailing
Got steel drums on my iPod, beach pictures on the wall
Patron and parrots on my mind; all I need is salt

CHORUS
Every Day is a Holiday
Taking work and making it play
Leisure time's just a state of mind
When Every Day's a Holiday
