I'm so sick, sick, sick and tired Of working just to be retired I don't want to get that far I don't want your company car Promotions ain't my thing Name badges are not interesting It's much easier for me see To stay at home with Richard and Judy Awayaway oh oh oh away from here... Awayaway oh oh oh away from here Awayaway oh oh oh away from here Awayaway oh oh oh away from here I'm fed up of early mornings Wake up calls are getting boring round here Feet dragging on the pavement The same people with the same arrangement Irony can be quite funny You making other people money My working day has just begun Its not exactly what I would call fun I want to wake up in the afternoon With daytime TV and my favourite tune 'Cause it is much easier for me see To stay at home with Richard and Judy Awayaway oh oh oh away from here..... Away away away away from Saturday is your only highlight When you go out and live the highlife Meeting up with other people Your interaction with the weak and feable Atleast when all is said and done You wouldn't be the only one To be a slave to the modern wage Your crappy weekend is your only escape I want to wake up in the afternoon With daytime TV and my favourite tune 'Cause it is much easier for me To stay at home with Richard and Judy Awayaway oh oh oh away from here..... Away away away away from here
