Davey stole a Christmas tree from K-Mart last night
|
red ribbons and silver bells, angels dressed in white
|
He tied, it to the bridge rail so passing cars would see
|
He danced a little dance up there, looked down and smiled at me
|
|
My bed is a lawn chair, cushions keep it soft
|
I sleep in the open air, under the Southern Cross
|
Next to the golf course by the Hyatt Hotel
|
Davey is a friend of mine and we get along pretty well
|
|
Christmas in paradise under the Cow Key Bridge
|
Where the warm breeze blows so nice
|
And the landlord forgives
|
|
Snowbirds on the golf course wear Bermuda shorts and polo shirts
|
Some play pretty good some so bad it hurts
|
We pick up their golf balls that fly over the fence
|
Shine 'em up a little bit and sell 'em back for fifty cents
|
|
Christmas in paradise under the Cow Key Bridge
|
Where the warm breeze blows so nice
|
And the landlord forgives
|
|
I won't lie, we just get by but we'll be eating good tonight
|
Christmas dinner at 5 o'clock over at the Church of Life
|
They don't care who you are and they don't ask what you done
|
Come on down and bring a friend there's plenty for everyone
|
|
Christmas in paradise under the Cow Key Bridge
|
Where the warm breeze blows so nice
|
And the landlord forgives
|
The radio plays Christmas songs while we get high
|
Davey shouts Merry Christmas y'all
|
to the cars passing by
|
Davey shouts Merry Christmas y'all
|
