Well everybody's heart needs a holiday, some time And everyone of us needs to get away, some how 'Cause laughing light-hearted moods Oh, sight seeing afternoons And telling a joke or two 'Cause everyday invites you to find your place in the sun It's time to find your place in the sun Find your place Find your place in the sun Its time to find your place in the sun Well everybody's panning for gold And you can find it for a price And love always promised us to last forever But sometimes it just don't work out 'Cause laughing lighthearted tunes Oh, sometimes time they turn to blues So tell yourself a joke or two 'Cause everyday invites you to find your place in the sun It's time to find your place in the sun Find your place Find your place in the sun It's time to find your place in the sun Come on now Come on now It's time to find your place in the sun 'Cause And sightseeing afternoons And telling a joke or two 'Cause every day invites you to find your place 'Cause every day invites you to find your place in the sun It's time to find your place in the sun It's time to find your place in the sun It's time to find your place in the sun Find your place Find your place in the sun It's time to find your place in the sun It's time to find your place in the sun
