In fact, so popular was their first album that an album exists by "The Mustangs" whose cover is a take-off of the cover to the first instrumental Beatles album by the Strings.
Stu Phillips arranged and conducted the first three volumes, plus the album with solo songs on it. Perry Botkin, Jr. and Mort Garson did the honors on volume four, but Garson alone did the job on volume five. Botkin had previously conducted the Strings some years before.

For taking the easy way out
Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out now
She was a day tripper
One way ticket, yeah
It took me so long to find out
And I found out
She's a big teaser
She took me half the way there
She's a big teaser
She took me half the way there, now
She was a day tripper
One way ticket, yeah
It took me so long to find out
And I found out
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Tried to please her
She only played one night stand
Tried to please her
She only played one night stand, now
She was a day tripper
Sunday driver, yeah
It took me so long to find out
And I found out
Day tripper, day tripper, yeah
Day tripper, day tripper, yeah

The Hollyridge Strings’ rendition of the classic Beatles hit ‘Day Tripper’ is a somewhat moody and melancholy instrumental that still manages to capture the essence of the original lyrics. The song tells the story of a woman who is a ‘day tripper’, someone who enjoys sporadic and casual relationships with men but never anything serious or long-lasting. The singer of the song is lamenting his own failed attempt to woo her, describing her as a ‘big teaser’ who only took him ‘half the way there’. Despite his efforts to please her and make the relationship more meaningful, she only ever played ‘one night stand’.
The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and disappointment, as the singer has finally realized that he was never going to be more than a fleeting experience for this woman. The repetition of ‘day tripper, day tripper’ throughout the song emphasizes the singer's sense of being taken for a ride and deceived by this woman's carefree lifestyle.
Overall, The Hollyridge Strings’ version of ‘Day Tripper’ is a haunting and poignant instrumental that captures the spirit of the original song while giving it a new dimension of melancholy longing.
