Our friends all scattered this summer and vacationed in various parts of Europe. One couple even got engaged in Norway. We don't have any vacation time until August. But I did get a song out of it.

Almost on Vacation Blues

We got the
sweat it out
stuck at home
don't get off
till August blues

repeat chorus

our friends
have all
invaded Europe
an' it don't
look like they're
comin' home soon

kayakin' 
in Norway
tossin' pints
in Glasgow too

some are even 
holding hands
under a starry
grecian moon

gonna quit 
our jobs tomorrow
find ourselves
a cool and sleepy lagoon

sweat it out
stuck at home
don't get off
till August blues

wanna wake up
 in the mornin’
in a fancy pair a
beach walkin’ shoes

‘cause our feets 
is itchy crazy
for vacation                      
in the summertime, too

sweat it out
stuck at home
don't get off
till August blues

repeat chorus

and now 
there's gonna 
be a wedding
gratulerer!
to you two

(gratulerer: congratulations in Norwegian)
