verse 2
 
Hop on my choo - choo, i'll be your engine driver in a bunny suit
If you dress me up in pink and white we may be just a little fuzzy 'bout it later tonight
She's my angel, she's a little better than the one that used to be with me
Cause she liked to scream at me man, it's a miracle that she's not living up in a tree
 
Chorus 2
 
I may take a holiday in Spain, leave my wings behind me
Drive this little girl insane and fly away to someone new
 
Verse 3
 
Everybody's gone, they left the television screaming that the radio's on
Someone stole my shoes, but there's a couple of bananas and a bottle of booze
Oh, well happy new year's baby we could probably fix it if we clean it up all day
Or we could simply pack our bags and catch a plane to Barcelona 'cause this city's a drag
 
I may take a holiday in Spain leave my wings behind me
Flush my worries down the drain and fly away to somewhere new
 
Take a holiday in Spain, leave my wings behind me
Drive this little girl insane, fly away to someone new
Fly away to someone new
Fly away to someone new
 
Thats it.
