about

I asked a friend was he going on Holidays and he replied
"She booked something, I'm not too sure where !"

lyrics

She booked on line a few months ago
When the Mweelry hills were covered in Snow
He wasn’t sure where they were going
He thought t’was sometime in June

In his shirt and trousers beside the pool
Its kinda strange having nothing to do
“Is there anyone here without a tatoo”
Wonder whats the weather like at home

Up up and away
Paddys on a package holiday
Buona sera ,S'il vous plaît
Ola Olé"its a package Holiday

Overhanging tum tums everywhere
All of humanity laid bare
Aphrodite and Adonis are over there
“Give us a shot of the suncream ‘

One of the days t’was awful warm
Bought a hat from a man in a stall
Hello …. Rolex …another man called
Paddy didn’t come downthe last shower

Up up and away
Paddys on a package holiday
Buona sera ,S'il vous plaît
Ola Olé"its a package Holiday

He woke with a buzzing around half past four
He standing on the bed with the Irelands Own
He nailed the mosquito wit a single blow
He lay down and dreamed about home

There’s games to play in the afternoon
Alright Pat, its your go soon
Walk round later a plate full of food
Bingo ,beer , and back to the room

Himself and herself are holding hands
Late at night walking on the strand
Are you ok Paddy, he says I’m grand
Sure that cow will calf on her own

Arrive back home they are worn out
From doing nothing cept walking round
Paddy puts his vest back on
Herself puts a match to the fire
