I can't help with the tune but here are the lyrics to share:

HOT TUBS OF TEARS
(By Austin Lounge Lizards, circa 1983, from their liner notes)

Those California girls are best, they say.
That West Coast lifestyle steals your heart away,
But, surfer girl, our love wiped out, and now I'm so blue.
I cry hot tubs of tears over you.

CHORUS: I cry hot tubs of tears over you,
I can't eat a bite of tofu.
I've given up tai chi and group therapy too.
I cry hot tubs of tears over you.

Our love was an expressway from the start,
And you took the fast lane to my heart,
But now my eyes, like LA skies, are smoggy and damp.
Why did you take the nearest exit ramp? (CHORUS)

You told me goodbye at the beach.
You fed me on white wine and quiche.
Now I know, my dear, that since we've been apart,
Acupuncture won't cure a broken heart.

FINAL CHORUS: I cry hot tubs of tears over you.
I can't eat a bite of tofu.
I've given up tai chi and group therapy too.
I cry hot tubs of tears over you,
Big redwood hot tubs of tears over you!


Cheerily,
Charley Noble
