A trop-rock song!

lyrics

The Florida Keys Copyright ©2011 Colin Ward


V1
I hear that it’s snowing in the southlands
All the way down to Dallas,
Three feet on the ground in Chicago,
I hope I don’t sound callous,

Chorus 1
‘Cause baby it’s pushing eighty degrees,
The sun is shining, there’s a gentle breeze,
The waves are lapping and flags are flapping,
Winter in the Florida Keys

V2
Cars can’t pass down Lakeshore Drive,
Buried up their antenna,
Shovel snow or head to Key West,
What a tough dilemma

Chorus 2
Baby it’s over eighty degrees,
Our skin is tanning in the gentle breeze,
A sailboat docking, I hear flip flops flopping,
Winter in the Florida Keys

Bridge
I don’t know why they stay in Chicago,
Perhaps Key West’s too small,
So plan a visit, don’t stay too long,
Shoveling snow is just wrong,

V3
We’ll make you welcome when you hit town,
Show you how to unwind,
We’ll laugh at your weather, and gloat about ours,
Do our best to be to be kind

Chorus 2
