Happy Holiday
Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Holiday Inn
Happy Holiday
Happy holiday
Happy holiday
While the merry bells keep ringing
May your every wish come true
Happy holiday
Happy holiday
May the calendar keep bringing
Happy holidays to you
If you're burdened down with trouble
If your nerves are wearing thin
Pack your load
Down the road
And come to Holiday Inn
If the traffic noise affects you
Like a squeaky violin
Kick your cares
Down the stairs
And come to Holiday Inn
If you can't find someone who
Will set your heart a whirl
Take your car and motor to
The home of boy meets girl
If you're laid-up with a breakdown
Throw away your vitamin
Don't get worse
Grab your nurse
And come to Holiday Inn




Holiday Inn
Happy Holiday
