Lyrics

CARRIBEAN CRUISE (Vocalist and Group))
Lyrics by James A. Schoke ©Copyright 2006
Note: Group sings words in italics!

I never wanted to go on a cruise, (10)
When your wife says go, you cannot refuse, (10)
So, there she was so debonair and chic (10)
And there I was feeling very sea-sick! (10)
And there he was feeling very sea sick! (10)
When we left port they gave us a big thrill, (10)
They scared us to death with a life-boat drill, (10)
So, if I heard emergency reports, (10)
I'd need extra time to go change my shorts! (10)
We'd need extra time to go change our shorts! (10)
(chorus)
Caribbean cruise from port to port,
I ate, sunned and snoozed to be a good sport.
Caribbean cruise from port to port,
We ate, sunned and snoozed to be a good sport.
I went to gamble, I wanted to win, (10)
I got real lucky, I left with my skin, (10)
I paid a commission on our cruise's cost, (10)
They would've made more if they got what I lost! (10)
They would've made more if they got what we lost! (10)
From San Juan to Nassau we island hopped, (10)
It's sure a lot of miles just to go shop, (10)
I thought this cruise would let me read a bit, (10)
But I've only had time to eat and to sh_Hey!
But we only had time to eat and to sh_Hey!
(chorus)
Caribbean cruise from port to port,
I bet bragged and boozed, to be a good sport.
Caribbean cruise from port to port,
We bet, bragged and boozed, to be a good sport.
They say there's nothing like sex on the sea, (10)
My luck wasn't what they said it would be, (10)
'Cause some voodoo witch put a hex on me, (10)
I couldn't get any for fee or free! (10)
We couldn't get any for fee or free! (10)
I finally did it, I went on a cruise, (10)
I'll do it again, I've nothing to lose, (10)
I lost my money, I lost what I ate, (10)
But the ship and friends, they were really great! (10)
But the ship and friends, they were really great! (10)
(chorus)
Caribbean cruise from port to port,
I romanced, danced and shmoozed to be a good sport.
Caribbean cruise from port to port,
We romanced, danced and shmoozed to be a good sport.
( All--Repeat Chorus over and over and fade out, possibly with voice-over conversation
second time around)
1st Guy--Whatta ya think? Ya gonna cruise again next year?
2nd Guy --Well, it wasn't that bad. There was lotsa good food and nice people. I
suppose if the wife wants to go I'll give her a break. How about you?
1st Guy--Well, I got over the sea sick bit.........and the crap table was a blast...even if it
cost me. I suppose I'll humor the wife again.
