Your Mind Is on Vacation (feat. Richard Julian)
You're sitting there yakkin' right in my face
I guess I'm gonna have to put you in your place
Y'know if silence was golden
You couldn't raise a dime
Because your mind is on vacation
And your mouth is working overtime
You're quoting figures,
dropping names,
Telling stories about the dames
You're over laughin' when things ain't funny
You try'n to sound like you're
big money
Y'know if talk was criminal,
you'd lead a life of crime
Because your mind is on vacation
And your mouth is working overtime
Life is short. Talk is cheap.
Don't be making promises that you can't keep
If you don't like this little song I'm singing
Grin and bear it
All I can say is if the shoe fits wear it
And if you must keep talking
Please try to make it rhyme
Because your mind is on vacation
and your mouth is working overtime
Because your mind is on vacation
your mind is on vacation
I guess I'm gonna have to put you in your place
Y'know if silence was golden
You couldn't raise a dime
Because your mind is on vacation
And your mouth is working overtime
You're quoting figures,
dropping names,
Telling stories about the dames
You're over laughin' when things ain't funny
You try'n to sound like you're
big money
Y'know if talk was criminal,
you'd lead a life of crime
Because your mind is on vacation
And your mouth is working overtime
Life is short. Talk is cheap.
Don't be making promises that you can't keep
If you don't like this little song I'm singing
Grin and bear it
All I can say is if the shoe fits wear it
And if you must keep talking
Please try to make it rhyme
Because your mind is on vacation
and your mouth is working overtime
Because your mind is on vacation
your mind is on vacation
