Family Vacation Lyrics

My average looking wife tells me I spend too much time at the office
My average intelligent children, they tell me "pops" you spend too much time at the office
So the other day, we gathered ‘round the table for dinner: I made a proposal
So I lit up their faces, and I lit up my pocket book- said we are going on a vacation

We could spend awhile on a sandy beach island
Pour out the bank account in glutinous fashion

"Whats that? Room service?
Just put that on my tab I will pay for it later... American Express"
"Oh honey, I love you. It's so wonderful to be spending so much time with the kids as a family in such a warm climate with all these material goods and services around us"

Five star hotel
Continental breakfast
Beautiful view
Vacation has got me hooked
I'm savior dad
Hero of husbands
It's easy to play God
When you're a father with a checkbook

How could I ever want to leave this place
When everything pleasurable is right in my face
As much as I hate it, and I don't want to say
I'll be working overtime in a couple of days

I'm sorry children. I'm sorry wife.
I'm sorry we can't live like this for the rest of our lives.
Pack your bags, catch the flight.
We've had our fill of vacation time.
