Thank God the Tiki Bar Is Open
Thank God the tiki bar is open
Thank God the tiki torch still shines
Thank God the tiki bar is open
Come on in and open up your mind
I was out on a leave of absence
With no resemblance to reality
Felt like a rocket launched in the great blue yonder
By the boys down at Kennedy
I checked into his majesty's court hotel
Where the sign said praise his name
I was tired and alone I couldn't sleep too well
But I don't think he was to blame
There's a full moon over the Gulf tonight
And a full moon in my mind
But my suntan dreams are still out of reach
Cuz the strippers be robbing me blind
Well his name was Hollywood David Wright
And sailed the Ka'Tiki
Yeah the king is gone but he'll not be forgotten
Nor his like will we ever see
Some say a drink ain't no solution
But it sure can calm your fears
And if that tiki bar closes down tonight
Well I just might disappear
Thank God the tiki torch still shines
Thank God the tiki bar is open
Come on in and open up your mind
I was out on a leave of absence
With no resemblance to reality
Felt like a rocket launched in the great blue yonder
By the boys down at Kennedy
I checked into his majesty's court hotel
Where the sign said praise his name
I was tired and alone I couldn't sleep too well
But I don't think he was to blame
There's a full moon over the Gulf tonight
And a full moon in my mind
But my suntan dreams are still out of reach
Cuz the strippers be robbing me blind
Well his name was Hollywood David Wright
And sailed the Ka'Tiki
Yeah the king is gone but he'll not be forgotten
Nor his like will we ever see
Some say a drink ain't no solution
But it sure can calm your fears
And if that tiki bar closes down tonight
Well I just might disappear
