Lyrics: Vengaboys - Uncle John From Jamaica
Na na na na na na na hey hey hey
Na na na na na na na hey hey hey
8 o’clock get up get outta bed
I feel like a truck ran over my head
Another day of stress and sorrow
Skip breakfast cause I gotta go
Ain’t got no time to take it slow
And I will do my hair tomorrow
I can’t take it no more
Oh no no no
Is this what I’m living for
But my Uncle John from Jamaica
Keeps on calling every day
Just buy a ticket and take a
Summer holi-holiday
My Uncle John from Jamaica
Keeps on calling every day
Just buy a ticket and take a
Summer holi-holiday
Na na na na na na na hey hey hey
Na na na na na na na hey hey hey
6 o’clock my job is still not done
The life I’m living ain’t no fun
Too many days of stress and sorrow
My boss just won’t give me a break
And this is more than I can take
Think I will quit this job tomorrow
I can’t take it no more
Oh no no no
Is this what I’m living for
But my Uncle John from Jamaica
Keeps on calling every day
Just buy a ticket and take a
Summer holi-holiday
My Uncle John from Jamaica
Keeps on calling every day
Just buy a ticket and take a
Summer holi-holiday
Na na na na na na na hey hey hey
Na na na na na na na hey hey hey
Na na na na na na na hey hey hey
Na na na na na na na hey hey hey
I need a holi-holiday
You need a holi-holiday
We need a holi-holiday
Everybody needs a holi-holiday
But my Uncle John from Jamaica
Keeps on calling every day
Just buy a ticket and take a
Summer holi-holiday
My Uncle John from Jamaica
Keeps on calling every day
Just buy a ticket and take a
Summer holi-holiday
But my Uncle John from Jamaica
Keeps on calling every day
Just buy a ticket and take a
Summer holi-holiday
