Woke up this morning, it’s cold and grey
Really don’t want to go to work today
Going out there would make me so blue
I just wanna stay in bed with you
Calling in sick is the only way
Come on baby,
Let’s take a mental health day
Let’s take a mental health day
Woke up this morning heard that first bird sing
Telling me that it was finally spring
How can I even think of working today
This is a day we’ve got to get away
Calling in sick is the only way
Come on everybody,
Let’s take a mental health day
Let’s take a mental health day
SOLO
Woke up early, the sun in my eye
Looked out the window not a cloud in the sky
Wanna hang by the pool, drink in my hand
Let’s call up the rest of the band and tell them
Calling in sick is the only way
You know just what we need
Let’s take a mental health day
Let’s take a mental health day
Woke up this morning, a chill in the air
The color of the leaves is beyond compare
They’re calling out to me to go for a cruise
Come go with me there’s no way we can lose
Calling in sick is the only way
Come on everybody,
Let’s take a mental health day
Let’s take a mental health day
Let’s take a mental health (let’s take a mental health)
Let’s take a mental health (let’s take a mental health)
Come on everybody
Let’s take a mental health day
