LYRICS TO THE SONG
Lookinโ out my back door I can almost see the ocean
Itโs only about a thousand miles south of here
When I close my eyes, I can smell suntan lotion
Wish I could afford to go back this year.
But I know a place we can all go
Where that loud flower shirt will be apropos
So put on your flip flops, your favorite funny hat
Escape with me to my paradise out back
Iโve got a beach in my backyard
Plastic Palm Tree and a tiki bar
Neon sign that flashes Landshark beer
Here in my pseudo beach atmosphere
Have a far north latitude
But a Margaritaville attitude
Yeah, I got a beach in my backyard
Donโt cost much money, donโt have to go far
Got a basket full of Coozies for all my friends who come
BYOB but not your troubles here
TropRock music here, sounds of a gentle steel drum
Then form a conga line, donโt forget your beer
Wahines in grass skirts, leis and coconut bras
Samโs ukulele hanginโ on the wall
Phony portholes, hoist the skull and bones
No boat, no dock, no trouble at my inland home
I got a beach in my backyard
Right here in my backyard
Old Buffett tunes, the sound of a blender
Guess you could call me a beach bum pretender
Have a far north latitude
A Margaritaville attitude
Yeah, I got a beach in my backyard
Donโt need much money, donโt have to go far
Yeah, I got a beach in my back yard
Plastic palm tree and a tiki bar
The parrot life is flowing. Thereโs shrimp on the Barbie
I plugged in my guitar, so letโs start the party
I gotta a beach in my backyard
Uno cerveza aqui porforvore
I gotta beach in my backyard
Plastic palm tree and a tiki bar
