Cyprus Cattle & Tan Lines

Lyrics

[INTRO] Well, Mark's hauling out the truck, the kids are packing bags, we’re off to sunny Cyprus, no more winter snags. [VERSE 1] Mark worked hard to earn that trip, he sweated, saved, and burned that tax, he’d say, "Now watch the kids not spoil this joy, we’re heading to the Mediterranean. Nikki’s in the car, she’s singing, she’s got a grin, she’s planning what to do with the beach and the sea. [PRE‑CHORUS] But as the waves are crashing, we hear the laughter, the kids are shouting, “Mom and Dad, this is the crafter! [CHORUS] It’s a Cyprus holiday, we’re singing, it’s a holiday, we’re basking under the bright sun. Mark’s got a grin, Nikki’s looking fine, and the kids are dancing all in line. But if the little bastards try to ruin the fun, Mark’s got his plan, he’ll keep the sun. [VERSE 2] The kids are running to the beach, the cousins all are trying to outshine, But the Roegans, they’re in the sun, they’re burning up, they’re stuck in lime. Nikki’s looking like a rose, Mark’s laughing, he’s thinking of that time, The Romanian driver’s in the truck, he flicks a cigarette, oh what a sight, The truck’s smelling like a road trip, we’re rolling, the kids are crying. [CHORUS] It’s a Cyprus holiday, we’re singing, it’s a holiday, we’re basking under the bright sun. Mark’s got a grin, Nikki’s looking fine, and the kids are dancing all in line. [BRIDGE] Oh the sea is shimmering, the sand is gold, the kids are building castles, the story told. Mark’s hand on Nikki’s shoulder, they’re sharing a quiet laugh, they’re dancing to the beat of a country song. [OUTRO] Now the sun is setting, the sky’s a blush, the kids are sleepy, the truck is hush. Mark and Nikki, they’re still laughing, we’ll come back again, we’re sure. [END]
