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….
