[Intro] (Robin Gibb)
Ooh you're a holiday, such a holiday
Ooh you're a holiday, such a holiday
[Verse 1] (Robin Gibb)
It's something I think's worthwhile
If the puppet makes you smile
If not then you're throwing stones
Throwing stones, throwing stones
[Verse 2] (Robin Gibb)
Ooh it's a funny game
Don't believe that it's all the same
Can't think what I've just said
Put the soft pillow on my head
[Chorus] (Robin Gibb)
Millions of eyes can see
Yet why am I so blind
When the someone else is me
It's unkind, it's unkind
[Bridge] (Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb)
De, de de de de de
De de de de de de, de de
De, de de de de de
De de de de de de, de de
[Chorus] (Barry, Robin & Maurice)
Yet millions of eyes can see
Yet why am I so blind
When the someone else is me
It's unkind, it's unkind
[Verse 3] (Robin Gibb)
Ooh you're a holiday
Every day, such a holiday
Now it's my turn to say
And I say you're a holiday
[Verse 1] (Robin Gibb)
It's something I think's worthwhile
If the puppet makes you smile
If not then you're throwing stones
Throwing stones, throwing stones
[Outro] (Barry, Robin & Maurice)
De, de de de de de
De de de de de de, de de
De, de de de de de
De de de de de de
Ooh you're a holiday, such a holiday
Ooh you're a holiday, such a holiday
[Verse 1] (Robin Gibb)
It's something I think's worthwhile
If the puppet makes you smile
If not then you're throwing stones
Throwing stones, throwing stones
[Verse 2] (Robin Gibb)
Ooh it's a funny game
Don't believe that it's all the same
Can't think what I've just said
Put the soft pillow on my head
[Chorus] (Robin Gibb)
Millions of eyes can see
Yet why am I so blind
When the someone else is me
It's unkind, it's unkind
