It’s the afternoon on a day off
The weather’s great, bathed in the sunshine
On a day like this I get in my car
And go cruizing on da high way with my mates
No destination in mind
Just enjoying da holiday to the full
Been working hard Monday to Friday
Hanging out for the weekend
I’mma kick away all my worries
Laugh it all off and enjoy the relaxation of this sunny day
The weather’s great, wanna go somewhere?
Pick up that town walker and go out in my car
But I’m feeling good, so maybe
We should just go with the flow?
Sometimes you gotta forget all about time and promises
And clear your head to idiot proportions
Put aside your day-to-day worries today
The weather’s great right now, huh?
Stepping, kicking
Getting down when things don’t go well
But don’t worry, there are days
When things don’t go right
So baby just take it easy, no need to panic
Just take it easy, no need to strain yourself whatsoever
Oooh! baby now, take it easy, no need to panic
Let’s just walk at our own pace, without being swept away by the crowd
The Japanese character for “busy” is made of the characters for
“losing your heart”
Sometimes you need a break
If your tired, try stopping
Relaxation like that is just what you need
But not everything’s gonna go well
Worrying about it all the time won’t change anything
So take it easy sometimes
No deep thoughts, just hang loose
Basking in the sun on a park bench
I shut my eyes and bathe in the light of the afternoon
Kids are playing an energetic game of tag
Behind me there’s a couple making out
Ah, what a peaceful time
Time’s going so slow
That the busy days of normal life seem silly
Yeah, no need for me to panic
Panicking, hurrying
Letting time get the better of me
But don’t worry, sometimes things
Don’t go so smoothly
So baby just take it easy, no need to panic
Just take it easy, no need to strain yourself whatsoever
Oooh! baby now, take it easy, no need to panic
Let’s just walk at our own pace, without being swept away by
the crowd
A hint hits me, as suddenly
As a thread snapping
“If you can’t push it, pull it instead” – simple as that
Take a load off and take it teasy from time to time
So baby just take it easy, no need to panic
Just take it easy, no need to strain yourself whatsoever
Oooh! baby now, take it easy, no need to panic
Let’s just walk at our own pace, without being swept away by
the crowd.
