Sittin' in the back of the boat wrestling with a marlin
|
A beautiful girl insisting that I call her darlin'
|
Twelve o'clock maybe have a little snack
|
One forty-five put some lotion on her back
|
Then my schedule pretty much opens up
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
It's a real tough job
|
But somebody's got to do it
|
I'll do the best that I can
|
And try to get through it
|
I've got a list somewhere of all the things I need to do
|
I swear I'm gonna get around to it
|
It's a real tough job but somebody's gotta do it
|
|
Checkin' my messages with my toes in the sand
|
But it's hard to dial with this margarita here in my hand
|
Make a mental note party in town
|
Oh yea and don't forget to watch the sun go down
|
At some point maybe I can take a break
|
|
[REPEAT CHORUS]
|
Look over there what seems to be the commotion
|
Somebody's pullin this Bay Watch babe from the ocean
|
Then somebody yells she ain't breathin'
|
Somebody help her life needs savin'
|
Anyone here happen to know CPR
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
It's a real tough job
|
But somebody's got to do it
|
I'll do the best that I can
|
And try to bring her through it
|
And when she asks who gave the kiss of life
|
Ah just tell her I blew it
|
It's a real tough job but somebody's gotta do it
|
