Story Behind The Song
Having inadvertently ended up twice at All Inclusive Resorts, I was intrigued, fascinated and obsessed with how much fun everyone was having!
Song Description
When the grays and whites of winter feel oppressive, it's time to party and reconnect at an All Inclusive resort! Sun and fun!
There are two versions of this song: one describes how the kids will stay "with Grandma and Grandpa". The other version is the couple going away somewhere where they "don't need flannel pajamas"!
Each version has a 2-verse or 3-verse approach with a dark intro to contrast with the exuberance of the vacation or the same without the intro OR the same versions without the intro. The lengths are 2:40, 3:12, 4:18, or 4:50 respectively.
This is a very earworm hooky song!

Lyrics
INTRO
The days are shorter.
The nights are colder.
Summer is over.
Winter is coming.
Stow the lawnmower.
Tune up the snow blower.
Where's that brochure?
Winter is coming!
Hey, Honey! Let's blow my bonus on an ALL INCLUSIVE RESORT!
VERSE 1 (with kids)
The kids can go to Grandma's and Grandpa's!
We can go to Mexico or the Bahamas!
Exchange juice boxes for piña coladas!
Sleep all day, on the beach, if we wanna!
PRE-CHORUS 1
There's no deliberation.
Just say no to a stay-cation.
We want an awesome vacation!
All inclusive! All inclusive!
CHORUS 1
At home alone time is so elusive.
The outside world seems so intrusive.
Our wristband makes us so exclusive.
Sneak away to our room - so secluded!
HOOK 1
Everything is all inclusive!
Everything is all inclusive!
Everything is all inclusive!
All inclusive!
All inclusive!
VERSE 2
A champagne breakfast as we choose what to do.
Snorkel, kayak, paddleboard, then hang out at the pool.
The beach calls out to me but, darling, so do you!
Lunch and massages and we head to our room...
PRE-CHORUS 2
There's no deliberation.
Just say no to a stay-cation.
We want an awesome vacation!
All inclusive! All inclusive!
CHORUS 2
At home alone time is so elusive.
The outside world seems so intrusive.
Our wristband makes us so exclusive.
Sneak away to our room - so secluded!
HOOK 2
Everything is all inclusive!
Everything is all inclusive!
Everything is all inclusive!
All-inclusive!
All-inclusive!
VERSE 3
We're here to chill and play in the sun.
But let's reflect and reconnect how two makes one.
Celebrate what it's like together alone.
This week I won't share you with anyone!
PRE-CHORUS 3
There's no deliberation.
Just say no to a stay-cation.
We want an awesome vacation!
All inclusive! All inclusive!
CHORUS 3
At home alone time is so elusive.
The outside world seems so intrusive.
Our wristband makes us so exclusive.
Sneak away to our room - so secluded!
HOOK 3

Everything is all inclusive!
Everything is all inclusive!
All inclusive!
All inclusive!
