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
