CHORUS:
|
Thank God the tiki bar is open
|
Thank God the tiki torch still shines
|
Thank God the tiki bar is open
|
Come on in and open up your mind
|
|
I was out on a leave of absence
|
From any resemblance to reality
|
I felt like a rocket launched to the great blue yonder
|
From the boys down at Kennedy
|
|
I was driving by his majesty's court hotel
|
Where the sign said praise his name
|
I was tired and alone I couldn't see too well
|
But I don't think that he was to blame
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
There's a full moon over Daytona beach
|
There's a full moon in my mind
|
And my suntan dream is still out of reach
|
And the strip malls are robbing me blind
|
|
Well his name was Mr. Dale Earnhardt
|
And he drove the black number three
|
Now the king is gone but he'll not be forgotten
|
Nor his like will we ever see
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
I know a drink ain't no solution
|
I ain't had one in seventeen years
|
But if that tiki bar was closed tonight
|
Well I might just disappear
|
|
CHORUS TWICE
|
|

The Tiki Bar Is Open
