Lyrics:

It’s a holiday weekend
three days four nights (count ‘em darlin’)
Friday night those bright colored downtown lights
are such a thrill
an intoxicating delight
and Monday morning has lost its sting
Monday morning doesn’t mean anything
on a holiday weekend.

It’s a holiday weekend
and time stands still
Saturday’s slow parade of earthly pleasures and delights
pure treasure
day and night
and Tuesday morning – Tuesday morning is nowhere in sight
on a holiday weekend.

Thank you Dr. Martin Luther King
thank you Veterans for everything
thank you Labor Movement for all the work you’ve done
thank you Abraham Lincoln
and thank you George Washington.

Take a little break on Sunday
relax, kick back, have fun day
because Monday is the new Sunday anyway
family feasts and barbecues
dance on the beach kick off your shoes
hey hey hey it’s a holiday
it’s never gonna end, never gonna end
never gonna end, it’s a holiday weekend.

Roll on holiday weekend. . .
