Lyrics
:
Waiting for the summer Waiting for the crowds Waiting for the holidays Gone is the winter, here comes the summer It�s a bank holiday weekend From May 27 to May 28 The waiting ain�t as long as it seems Cause here come the people Here come the crowds It�s a bank holiday weekend But you know it�s got to end It�s a bank holiday weekend Nothing ever seems to go on A peaceful holiday weekend A bank holiday weekend There�s fights on the beaches Fights in the pubs Kids everywhere to be seen The summer is starting They turn back the clocks It�s time for icecream and rock But you know it�s got to end It�s a bank holiday weekend Nothing ever seems to go on A peaceful holiday weekend A bank holiday weekend But where do they come from I don�t know (I don�t know) And where do they go to I don�t know (I don�t know) But you know it�s got to end It�s a bank holiday weekend Nothing ever seems to go on A peaceful holiday weekend A bank holiday weekend Too many people Too many lads Too many trying to get in They�re looking for action Looking for fun It�s a bank holiday weekend But you know it�s got to end It�s a bank holiday weekend Nothing ever seems to go on A peaceful holiday weekend A bank holiday weekend Where do they come from I don�t know (I don�t know) And where do they go to I don�t know (I don�t know) But you know it�s got to end It�s a bank holiday weekend Nothing ever seems to go on A peaceful holiday weekend A bank holiday weekend
