You troublesome ***** always away,
just when I need you the most,
off to Hawaii on holiday.
You bask in the sun, glorious day!
native *** you sip with a host;
you troublesome ***** always away.
All the pressure! My Life's in a fray.
Your note arrives through the post:
off to Hawaii on holiday.
I search in my mind, words just wont stay.
You're what? They're giving a toast!
You troublesome ***** always away.
Do you think it's a joke, a game we play?
You get to leave; you always boast:
I'm off to Hawaii on holiday!
O muse, it's the end, no more disarray!
Next time the pig won't be the roast.
You troublesome ***** always away,
off to Hawaii on holiday.
