Start on Key Plantain 

Walk a tropical mile 

You'll see a house 

In the Spanish style 

There's a room in back 

With a view of the sea 

Where she sits and dreams 

Does she dream of me 



When summer's gone 

I get ready 

To make that Carribee run 

I've got to have 

Some time in the sun 



Chorus: 

When the cold wind comes 

I go where the dahlias bloom 

I keep drifting back 

To your Florida room 



She's dressed too warm 

For this latitude 

We go out to lunch 

With some Jamaican dude 

Then the sunshower breaks 

We come in out of the rain 

But in her Florida room 

There's a hurricane 



While the city freezes over 

We'll be strollin' down the shore 

Can she bring me back 

To life once more 



Chorus 



When summer's gone 

I get ready 

To make that Carribee run 

I've got to have 

Some time in the sun 



Chorus
