p.j. Lyr Req: Cruising to Maui (18) Lyr Add: ROLLING DOWN FROM OLD MAUI (parody) 12 Nov 00


Hi guys,

Sorry it took me so long to respond, for the last coupla days I've been getting ready for an invasion of singers (The Windlasses) and since Saturday have been enjoying their company around the house.

Thanks Allan, for sending a PM that called my attention to the thread, here's my version of Maui...

ROLLING DOWN FROM OLD MAUI

It's a rough tough life
Of toil and strife
We singles undergo
And we don't give a damn
When the date is done
How bad that date did go

We're homeward bound
Met a Club Med clown
On a cruise that wasn't free
And now I'm done
Drinkin' Coke and Rum
With the boys in old Maui

Chorus: Rollin' down from Old Maui, me boys
Rollin' down from Old Maui
We're homeward bound
From the tourist town
Rollin' down from Old Maui

Once more I sailed
With a muscular male
Thinkin' maybe he's my man
But his coconut brain
Made our dialog strain
And I won't see him again

Six hellish days
I've pissed away
On a cruise that wasn't free
And now I'm done
I've had my fun
Get me home from Old Maui

Chorus: Rollin' down from Old Maui...

Once more I sailed
With Julie and Gail
On our vacation week
It rained and poured
We all got bored
And Julie met some geek

We got a little carried away
In a bar in Lahina sound
And now the cops are after us
Thank God we're homeward bound

Chorus: Rollin' down from Old Maui...

How soft the breeze
Through the island trees
And my heart will never learn
Them native boys
With their jet-ski toys
Are awaiting my return

Every now and then
We'll go back again
Maybe someday soon, we'll see
I'll bag this job
My savings rob
And go back to Old Maui

Chorus: Rollin' down from Old Maui...

Cheers,

pj
