It’s hard to write good on vacation…
I took a four hour bath in the ocean,
so I don’t need one today.
I sprayed all the sand out the corners,
so I think I’m just gonna stay
here in this bed
with a bird a singing
songs like Elvis
or funky like Rick James.
Kids are playin
Something called “weejee”.
“Say hello to ol Rick James!”
I’m feeling all good
and I still ain’t bought no beer!
I wanna go watch a dolphin jump.
I might call up Captain Mike.
He’s gotta big ol boat in the water,
And all you gotta do is pay
bout 15 bucks.
That times 5.
Then add some for the kids.
That’s a hundred bucks
“Oh hell, let’s go!”
Everything’s a hundred bucks round here!
Back home we got nothing
but a damned ol gar,
and I never seen him jump.
And please remind me,
to go pick up some beer.
Later I’m gonna go eat
Some kind of swimming beast.
A water spider or a sea snake
It’s gonna be a big ol feast.
Red sea spiders
are served with butter,
and you don’t even know the price!
“It’s seasonal”, they say
Well it’s tourist season,
So you know it won’t be nice!
“Here’s a hondo, girl!
Keep the change.
We got a new prez, now!”
“Let me stop over here!
You know what we need!”
I’m laying on the beach, drinking beer.
It ain’t in a glass bottle, so I guess it’s cool.
I know it’s cold as ice,
And the view out here, it’s super nice!
Them ocean girls!
Whoa, look out!
I could say so much
but better not say none!
The sun gives me
the third degree.
But it feels good,
cause the ocean breeze!
And I’m drowning!
In the sea!
In this view, in this can!
Lordy me!
I look like a sea spider!
I was going for tan!
I think I’ll pass out right here.
God bless this nation,
and God bless this beer!
