Holiday Romance |
| On the subway train he sees adverts |
| For holidays in jamaica, a weekend in Rome, a cruise round the |
| Mediterranean, and dreams of a quiet |
| Week in a little seaside resort away |
| From his wife, the ducks on the wall, |
| The soap operas, the office and his |
| Friends — and who knows, he might |
| Encounter a holiday romance. |
| Holiday romance |
| I had a break for a week |
| So I booked my seat |
| And confirmed a reservation |
| At a quiet little seaside hotel. |
| I packed my bags |
| And I caught my train and |
| Reached my destination |
| Just in time for the dinner gong--ding dong. |
| Then I saw lavinia |
| Standing at the bottom of the stairs. |
| And I fell for lavinia |
| The moment that I saw her standing there. |
| Lavinia looked so divine |
| As she walked up to the table to dine |
| And then lavinias eyes met mine. |
| I thought can this be love, |
| Can this be lovey-dove |
| Or just a holiday romance? |
| Can this be long lost love at last |
| Or is it just a flash in the pan? |
| Then after cheese and liqueurs they struck up the band, |
| I plucked up my courage and I asked lavinia to dance |
| That was the start of my holiday romance. |
| Just a holiday romance. |
| We did the foxtrot, samba and danced through the night |
| The last waltz came and we held each other so tight. |
| That was the start of my holiday romance. |
| Just a holiday romance |
| A simple holiday romance. |
| I wonder should I take a chance? |
| We walked on the beach, |
| And we paddled our feet, |
| And we watched all the swimmers, |
| And my holiday treat felt complete. |
| We drank lemonade, |
| And we sat in the shade, |
| I thought I must be on a winner |
| And I acted cool and discreet. |
| For I knew that lavinia |
| Was the shyest lady that Id ever met, |
| And I knew that lavinia |
| Would only be my lady for the week. |
| It was just a holiday romance |
| A simple holiday romance. |
| I wonder should I take this chance? |
| Just a holiday romance. |
| Can this be love, |
| Can this be lovey-dove |
| Or just a holiday romance? |
| I tried to kiss her, she walked away, |
| She said «better stop, my husbands |
| Coming to collect me today». |
| That was the end of my holiday, |
| Sweet and innocent holiday, |
| End of my holiday romance. |
