    Lyrics

    Judging by the angle of the sun
    I'd say it's beer o'clock
    Judging by the damage that we've already done
    To that cooler, we might need to re-stock

    Talk about a late one last night
    Swapping songs and laughing well past dawn
    When the seagulls and the early risers arrived with the daylight
    We weren't phased, just put on our shades & carried on

    I don't know where the nighttime went
    Or where my urge to sleep has gone
    But everyone outside my tent is
    Just too damn entertaining on
    A long, long weekend
    It might be the death of me, but what a sweet death it would be
    On a long, long weekend
    I don't think I ever wanna go back home

    If you're gonna whip it, whip it good
    If you're gonna live it, live it strong
    If you're gonna trip it, you take it easy, knock on wood
    And if you're going out for the weekend, go long!

    Some might say I'm slow getting started
    But you don't sprint in a marathon, you see
    And you know, I've been known to sometimes have a bit too much of the party
    And once or twice the party even had too much of me

    You might get to worryin' about the parts of your vacation gone
    But what you lose in memories you'll gain in reputation on
    A long, long weekend
    It's all about the pacing, son, no need to be racing on
    A long, long weekend
    Party legs, don't fail me now

    There's a funny thing about us Canadian boys
    Most need a certain amount of booze before they can dance
    But all these pretty women and the sweet music have filled me with such joy
    I think I might even give the hula hoop a chance

    This right here is a cure for alienation
    This right here can solve wage slavery
    It put me on the rocky path to self-realization
    And I found myself a paved road to poverty

    But I'd trade all the cash in the bank for this big lovin' family
    And I have you kind folks to thank for supporting my delinquency
    On the long, the long weekends
    The longest are the sweetest kind, fill my heart and blow my mind
    Those long, long weekends
    It might be the death
    Well, it just might be the life
    Oh, I do believe it's the life for me
