i need a breather

i got a place that i like to slip off to

when everything starts closin' in

and i got some ways that the world don't agree with

yeah some folks would call it a sin

but i work like a dog and i'm good at my job

and i live for a one-day weekend

so i'm takin' off and i might stay a week

hell i may never come back again

i need a breather

a sweet senorita

writin' my name in the sand

i need a break from this job and this angry boss man

some coconut lotion

a chair by the ocean

just sit back and take it all in

i got the fever and i need a breather again

the people at work they think i'm a loner

but i need some time to myself

and i don't want to waste my precious vacation

livin' for somebody else

'cause i'll have a drink and i might fall down

and i don't think that they'd understand

i know it all sounds a little bit crazy

well maybe that's just what i am

i need a breather

a sweet senorita

writin' my name in the sand

i need a break from this job and this angry boss man

some coconut lotion

a chair by the ocean

just sit back and take it all in

i got the fever and i need a breather again

things fell apart down at the office

and i'm getting blamed for it all

i've only been back for a couple of days

and i'm already climbin' the wall

hey i need a breather

a stiff margarita

bring'em as fast as you can

'cause i need a break from this job and this angry boss man

some coconut lotion

a chair by the ocean

just kick back and take it all in

yeah i got the fever

i need a breather again

i got the fever and i need a breather again

yes i do
