I LIKE TO GO OUT EVERY NOW AND THEN
I CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN
BUT I HAVEN'T HAD THE TIME - LATELY

I LIKE TO STEP OUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE
I KINDA LIKE TO DO IT IN STYLE
I HAVEN'T HAD THE TIME - LATELY

LATELY I'VE BEEN STAYIN' AT HOME
WORKIN' THE CROSSWORDS, TURN OFF THE PHONE

AND I DREAM I'M ON VACATION, 'CAUSE I LIKE THE WAY THAT SOUNDS
IT'S A PERFECT OCCUPATION FOR ME
I DON'T MIND BEIN' BY MYSELF IF THERE'S NO ONE ELSE AROUND
IT'S THE LAST GOOD TIME IN TOWN

WELL, I COULD STAND UP STRAIGHT - GET A REAL JOB
STAY OUT LATE WITH THE SAME OLD MOB
BUT IT HASN'T CROSSED MY MIND - LATELY

PUT ON A SUIT - WORK DOWNTOWN
MOON COME UP AND THE SUN GO DOWN
NO, I HAVEN'T HAD THE TIME - LATELY

LATELY I'VE BEEN STAYIN' AT HOME; CLOSIN' THE CURTAINS, PLAY JAZZ ON TROMBONE

AND I DREAM I'M ON VACATION, THOUGH YOU WON'T SEE ME AROUND
IT'S A PERFECT SITUATION FOR ME
I DON'T MIND BEIN' BY MYSELF, 'CAUSE I KNOW YOU'LL COME ON DOWN
IT'S THE LAST GOOD TIME IN TOWN

LATELY I'VE BEEN STAYIN' AT HOME; WORKIN' THE CROSSWORDS, TURN OFF THE PHONE

AND I DREAM I'M ON VACATION, 'CAUSE I LIKE THE WAY THAT SOUNDS
IT'S A PERFECT OCCUPATION FOR ME
I DON'T MIND BEIN' BY MYSELF - IF YOU DON'T SEE ME AROUND
IT'S THE LAST GOOD TIME - LAST GOOD TIME IN TOWN
