Shipwrecked on an island in a sloop transporting rum,
I was washed up on a spit of golden sand,
Bobbing bottles all around me, on the breaking waves,
The wreckage of the ship was close to hand.
I found I was alone and set about to make a home,
Constructed in a little group of trees,
There were pineapples and coconuts and other fruit around,
Abundant fish to hunt within the seas.
The materials I had were not unlimited of course,
I reckoned they would only stretch so far,
So the choice was very clear to either use them for a raft,
Or design and build myself a Tiki Bar.
[chorus]
Oh Tiki Bar my Tiki Bar,
A little piece of heaven in the sun,
My sanctuary, my guiding star,
I tell you if you build it - They will come.
Perched upon a barstool as the southern sun retired,
I sipped a drink, contented in my plan,
And then I heard a woman's voice that whispered in my ear,
"Mix me a cocktail Tiki man."
Hair as dark as ebony cascaded on her shoulders,
Crystal eyes that sparkled in the moon,
My heart flew like a dove until she brought it back to earth,
"So delicious, but I must be going soon."
"But come with me my lovely, there's a DJ on tonight,
Your bar is rad, but pretty far away,
So please be my companion for the party of the year,
At the luxury resort beyond the bay."
[chorus]
