lyrics

Mojito Express (Jim McGrath)

We’re logging off, leaving our work stations
Putting down our pens, a fortnight’s duration
Such a feeling, two weeks free
Colleagues’ good wishes for you and for me

Running home, got so much to pack
Some last-minute things, there’s nothing that we’ll lack
Hurry, hurry, the taxi’s here at last
The meter’s running, it’s going up fast

We’re going on vacation, at last

Flying out on a 7-37
Thumbing through our phrase book, unfamiliar words
Making up time, swooping into heaven
Palm trees, white sands, exotic birds

We’re on vacation, at last

Hand in hand, round gaily coloured market stalls
Cicadas chorus, ‘round the ancient city walls
Fishing boats and yachts, resting in the harbour
Jasmine perfume, ripples cross the waxing moon

Margaritas and mojitos, by the swimming pool
We’re free of the city, free of its pull
Light-headed with drink and expectations
Let’s make the most of this holiday vacation

Mojito Express, you can guess the rest

Flying home now, with a heavy heart
Soon the old 9 to 5’s gonna start
Still, work or play, it’s good to be alive!
On our crazy memories we’ll survive, til it’s
Time, time to go back on,
The Mojito Express!
