Bank holiday is a term used in Commonwealth countries that is roughly equivalent to "Federal holiday" in America. It refers to the fact that banks will close on these holidays. The song says they come 6 times a year, but there are actually 8 bank holidays in England and Wales: New Years Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, May Day, Spring Bank Holiday, August Bank Holiday, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day.
