Backyard Tiki Bar
© 2012 Anthony Lynn Powers


Verse 1
I'd rather be down by the sea
but I can't drink and drive my car
you see a hurricane won't taste the same
unless you're sitting at a cool beach bar
after a few more shots of tequila
I was stumbling around my yard
That's when I knew, what to do
I had to build my own beach bar

Chorus 1
under those neon lights
is the place to be
we don't have a cover charge
and all the drinks are free
we only play island music
underneath the summer stars
we're telling lies and pirate stories
at my backyard tiki bar

Verse 2
it may not be by the ocean
but we've got a swimming pool
we've got hula skirts hawaiian shirts
and a parrot sitting on a stool
you can form a conga line
or grab your drink and sing along
what you do is up to you
you really can't go wrong


Chorus 2
under those neon lights
is the place to be
we don't have a cover charge
and the jello shots are free
want to hear some Buffett music
let me get my old guitar
we'll sing some songs about the islands
at my backyard tiki bar

Bridge
We don't have a dress code
but I'm willing to admit
if you're a beautiful mermaid
it's ok to show your t.......

Last Chorus
under those neon lights
is the place to be
we don't have a cover charge
and the laughs are always free
you will make some new friends
it's time to get off that old sandbar
and make up some new stories
at my backyard tiki bar

End verse
Were just telling lies and pirate stories
at my backyard tiki bar........
