Sharon's Getaway

Intro

Ooh-ooh

Said ooh-ooh

Verse 1

Monday morning nine o'clock and the fluorescent tubes are humming

Sharon's got her shades on in the conference room

Boss is hollering bout the quarterly numbers

She's a million miles away on a beach in Cancun

Everybody snickered when they caught her staring sideways

At that screensaver sunset rolling on her CRT

But I saw the steel in her jaw and I knew she meant it

That girl is gone the second she gets free

Chorus

Take me to the islands where the palm trees sway

(Take me away)

Where nobody's punching in a timecard today

(Sail away)

She's got a tan in her head and a ticket in her dreams

(Oh yeah)

Gonna trade that gray cubicle for turquoise seas

Post-Chorus

Hey-hey sunshine

Hey-hey sunshine

Verse 2

She keeps a postcard taped inside her desk drawer

Turquoise water white sand and a tiki bar

Ten years of coffee runs and photocopied memos

Man she's gotta bust loose before she goes too far

So we're gonna book it cheap we're gonna fly on Friday

Flip the switch on that fluorescent overhead

Trade the filing cabinet for a hammock and a longboard

And a reggae band playing right beside her bed

Chorus

Take me to the islands where the palm trees sway

(Take me away)

Where nobody's punching in a timecard today

(Sail away)

She's got a tan in her head and a ticket in her dreams

(Oh yeah)

Gonna trade that gray cubicle for turquoise seas

Bridge

Bass is bouncing

Feet are moving

Everybody's dancing

No more Monday blues

No more gray gray gray

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Take me to the islands where the palm trees sway

(Take me away)

Where nobody's punching in a timecard today

(Sail away)

She's got a tan in her head and a ticket in her dreams

(Oh yeah)

Gonna trade that gray cubicle for turquoise seas

Outro

Hey-hey sunshine

(Take me away)

Hey-hey sunshine

(Sail away)

Hey-hey sunshine

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh
