Off On Holiday Lyrics

Finally the car is packed
We're on our way
Down to the south east coast
On our holiday

The kids are rowing in the back
About who's coat flew off the roof rack
We're on our way
We're off on holiday

Hey hey
We're off on holiday
Hey hey

Some seek enlightenment
On the hippy trail
The Great Wall of China
The Head of Kinsale

I'm just as happy with a pot of tea
In a rotten little beach hut by the sea
We're on our way
We're off on holiday

Hey Hey
We're off on holiday
Hey Hey

Now we're away
We're not coming back
Stick your bills and phone calls
And give me the sack
We're on our way

It's only a small place
It's often cold and grey
The beach is made of pebbles
Not many people come this way

But when the temperature's climbing
And the sun is shining
We're on our way
We're off on holiday

Hey Hey
We're off on holiday
Hey Hey
We're off on holiday

We're on our way
Hey Hey
We're off on holiday
Hey Hey
Now look today

Hey Hey
Hey Hey

Holiday
Holiday
Holiday
Holiday
Holiday
Holiday

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song makes me so happy :) Since I can remember, I've been going on trips with my mom, dad, and brother, and this always reminds me of all the places we've gone within driving distance. I think the lyrics are pretty straightforward. Some people want to go abroad, and visit exotic places on the other side of the world from them, but the narrator is happy going to a quite spot where not many people come. Makes think of my family's getaway spot, New Brunswick.
