Now I've been watching you close now lately,
And I've noticed the ways you have changed
And I know you've been with that lady,
When you say you've been with your friends

This is not a Holiday
This is not a Holiday, ye ye ye
Oooh, such a special day
This is not a Holiday

Daddy in the back room, bustin out the bass booms
Bobbie on the radio
Richie with a funky beat
Momma picking up her feet
Dancing to the radio
Now I've been listening to what you've been saying now lately
And I know that you're telling those lies
And I can tell you've been with that lady
I can tell when I look in your eyes
This is not a Holiday
This is not a Holiday, ye ye ye
Oooh, such a special day
This is not a Holiday
Daddy in the back room, bustin out the bass booms
Bobbie on the radio
Richie with a funky beat
Momma picking up her feet
Dancing to the radio
