Lyric

[Verse 1]

Single and divorced, standing alone

Be in a long-distance relationship on the phone

In a committed relationship, holding a hand

Meet a beautiful woman, try to understand

Marry a younger man, people say

Pick a good wife along the way

An ideal match, that’s the dream

His proposal shocked her, or so it seemed

Make up with someone after a fight

Interfere with a marriage — that’s not right

A delicate matter we can’t ignore

The essence of kindness at the core

[Chorus]

Take a trip, take a trip, don’t delay

Postpone a vacation? — not today

Package tour or travel agent call

Book a cheap flight, once and for all

Exchange yen for dollars before you go

Reserve a hotel, let it show

Find lodging for a week, stay at an inn

Leave a tip for a waiter with a grin

Take a trip, take a trip again

Love and roads that never end

[Verse 2]

A voyage to Brazil across the sea

A train journey across Italy

Take a boat along a canal

Carry a trunk down the hall

Wait in the baggage claim area line

Hope that suitcase still looks fine

A grand palace shining bright

An island in the Pacific Ocean at night

A beach of coarse sand under the sun

Vessels in the harbor, one by one

[Chorus]

Take a trip, take a trip, feel alive

Book a cheap flight and arrive

Exchange yen for dollars in town

Reserve a hotel before sundown

Find lodging for a week, stay at an inn

Leave a tip for a waiter with a grin

Package tour or travel agent plan

Take a trip while you can

[Bridge]

Soak in a hot spring, breathe in slow

A tour guide with places to show

Single and divorced once again

In a committed relationship then

Make up with someone, hold them tight

The essence of kindness in every light

An ideal match in a distant land

Take a boat and understand

[Final Chorus]

Take a trip, take a trip once more

A voyage to Brazil from shore to shore

A train journey across Italy’s land

An island in the Pacific Ocean so grand

Exchange yen for dollars, book the flight

Reserve a hotel for the night

Find lodging for a week and begin

Leave a tip for a waiter with a grin

Take a trip, take a trip, don’t delay

Love and travel lead the way
