Don’t you think it’s time to take?
|
That lifetime trip to the sunshine state
|
Relax on the beach and clear your mind,
|
Let life’s troubles pass you by,
|
Find a hammock in the shade or go have some fun
|
We’ve got everything you need here under the Florida sun…
|
|
We’ve got palm trees swaying, and sea breezes blowing
|
Sunsets dancing, wherever you’ll be going,
|
Warm days far away from where it snows,
|
Alligators, sharks and plastic pink flamingos…. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa…..
|
|
You might call ahead for a reservation,
|
The Chamber of Commerce for your destination
|
They’ll be glad to send a brochure,
|
If you’ve got cabin fever, we’ve got the cure
|
You have a choice, which coast will it be,
|
So little time, with so much to see…
|
|
We’ve got coconut trees and hurricane warnings,
|
Traffic jams, red tides and tourists,
|
Retired seniors, and giant mosquitoes
|
Alligators, sharks and plastic pink flamingos
|
Alligators, sharks and plastic pink flamingos….. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa….
|
|
We've got transplanted Yankees and timeshare condos,
|
cruise ships sailing everyday
|
3 wheel bikes, jet skis and mopeds,
|
Grandma in her rollerblades….
|
|
We got Nick Granato, Mickey Mouse and Shamu,
|
The Florida Keys and the Fountain of Youth,
|
We’ve got shuffleboard, bingo & Indian Casinos,
|
Roaches the size of El Caminos
|
Dolphins, Crackers, Realtors and boats…
|
Golfers, surfers and Mobile homes
|
Space shuttles, Disney and the Everglades
|
Coral reefs, manatees and mangrove bays
|
Orange Juice, lizards and fresh picked mangos…
|
|
Alligators, sharks and plastic pink flamingos
|
Buccaneers, souvenirs and tacky mementos
|
Alligators, sharks and plastic pink flamingos
|
We got Alligators sharks and plastic pink flamingos
|
Alligators, sharks, and plastic pink flamingos…
|
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa….
