LADY IN THE BLUE MERCEDES
(Daniel Darst, Gary Gentry)

It was a windy day down Malibu way. The California sun was shining.
I was in no hurry sipping bloody Marys and I fell asleep by the ocean.
Then a lovely lady in a blue Mercedes parked her car down by the sea.
She stepped into the sand and took me by the hand and we traveled away in my dreams.

CHORUS 1: And we drank piña coladas down in Puerto Rico. We tangoed in Montego Bay.
We sipped champagne in the summer rain on a warm Caribbean day.
I put a pretty flower in her long black hair on the sands of Waikiki,
And I left my heart in San Francisco where she first made love to me.

Then I woke to the sound of the tide coming in and the sun was almost gone.
I didn't want to wake from my beautiful dream but I had to take it on home.
Then somewhere in the evening came a heavenly voice saying, "Thank you for a wonderful day."
Then the beautiful lady in the blue Mercedes blew a kiss and drove away.

CHORUS 2: And we drank piña coladas down in Puerto Rico. We tangoed in Montego Bay.
We sipped champagne in the summer rain on a warm Caribbean day.
We stuffed our pockets full of pretty shells while the trade winds blew all night.
We bought mangoes and bananas in the marketplace and made love by the firelight.
