Something About The Tropics             12/28/2021  Patrick Pemberton ©2021 HawkSongs LTD

We climb the dead volcano

Place where gods they used to go

The cries of legend and sacrifice

Whispered screams we’ll never know

The Earth heaved up this paradise

So lush and oh so green

Join me for another Mai Tai

Can’t see the blood for all the trees

Well if you’ve got some time, y’know

I know this place that has a show…

Do your dance and sing your song

Of kings and conquest, brave and strong

Do that dance and sing that thing

Of plundered land and conquered kings

This place it once was Heaven-blessed 

I drive tourists ‘round it now

Telling tales of days gone by

We’ll stop at Fuji’s for some chow

And if you’ve got some time, y’know

I know this place that has a show…

Do your dance and sing your song

Of kings and conquest, brave and strong

Do that dance and sing that thing

Of plundered land and conquered kings

Do your dance…

( there goes the king)

Do your dance…

(there goes the queen)

Do your dance…

(paradise is lost)

Dance that dance….

(you know what I mean)
