The Beach Bum's Tango
written by D.Betz  mp3 sample
You know I used to be
Caught in a rat race of necessity
Like a fly in a sticky trap
Hanging from a ceiling lamp
But when I came out here
Everything became so very clear
I wouldn't go back there
If they made me a millionaire
If they could see me now
I'm living so happily
Under this coconut tree
It's a separate reality
Flowers in my hair
Flowers just about everywhere
If they could see me now
If they could see me now
I used to be a wife
The very model of American life
We lived together in a little house
Snug as a little mouse
But that was such a drag
Now it's just me and my sleeping bag
Bananas grow on trees
And I do pretty much as I please
If they could see me now
I'm living so happily
Under this coconut tree
It's a separate reality
Flowers in my hair
Flowers just about everywhere
If they could see me now
If they could see me now
It's been so many years
Since I ran away and disappeared
They always used to say
I'd come to a bad end one day
But I'm so glad I went astray
I wouldn't have it any other way
Living in simplicity
And loving my liberty
If they could see me now
I'd tell them I'm a big success
And I am truly blest
Everything turned out for the best
Flowers in my hair
Flowers just about everywhere
If they could see me now
If they could see me now
If they could see me now
I'm living so happily
Under this coconut tree
It's a separate reality
Flowers in my hair
Flowers just about everywhere
If they could see me now
If they could see me now |
