Get your passport and your bikini You need a holiday, come see me I know you're tired of the same old scenery And I could change all that so easily Don't worry 'bout a thing, girl, take a chance I'll take you to the south of France like Cannes And if anybody can, I can We could both shop in the Milan I just hope you understand I hope you see it clear It really don't matter how far or near 'Cause there's no distance that could stop my persistence Just a few days of the year Plus I've got clout, so let's ride out We ain't gotta fly, we can just drive out We can have a rave or we can hide out Won't tell nobody, let them find out If you ain't doing nothing let's fly away Drive away, get away We can go to the club or hide away We can do what you want to, baby If you ain't doing nothing let's fly away Drive away, take a holiday We can go to the club or hide away We can do what you want to, baby Don't watch my passport photo, I know I look a bit loco And I know that my Spanish is so-so But let's try keep that on the low-low 'Cause we're going to be far I've got friends that really wanna meet ya With champagne and a whole lot of love It's all good darling, a Blue Marlin will please ya And I'll never let your belly get empty Even when your belly full you're still sexy We can ride speed boats, we can ride jet skis I'll show you the time of your life if you let me I just want to put a smile on your pretty face If I didn't it would just be your pretty waste You do look like a girl with a bit of taste So I couldn't take you just any place If you ain't doing nothing let's fly away Drive away, get away We can go to the club or hide away We can do what you want to, baby If you ain't doing nothing let's fly away Drive away, take a holiday We can go to the club or hide away We can do what you want to, baby I know you're really busy and I know you got plans But are you really too busy for a sun tan? I ain't talking about walking down the high street I'm talking about laying on a bright white beach With a Pina Colada or whatever you'd rather White wine, that's fine, just give me a lager Then after we'll take a truck to the night spot The hot spot, the top spot, party around the clock And when we get there it's strictly VIP No need for ID, security know me No waiting in line, no high entry fee Don't worry about nothing when you're beside me I'll get you lively and loosen you up Have a bit of champagne it'll boost you up I wanna move you up, I wanna take you away So have a word darling, what do you say? If you ain't doing nothing let's fly away Drive away, get away We can go to the club or hide away We can do what you want to, baby If you ain't doing nothing let's fly away Drive away, take a holiday We can go to the club or hide away We can do what you want to, baby Do what you want to baby Let's do what you want to babe
