Lyrics

Caribbean Moon

Verse:
There is a place you can play
down on Half Moon bay
Called the Caribbean Moon
They've got beaches for swimmin'
and tropical women
with eyes that will make your heart swoon
You can sway in the breeze
with the cocoanut trees
as a steel drum band plays a tune
No matter how old I get
I'll never forget
those nights at the Caribbean Moon
Chorus:
I spent the night with Marquita
We were drinking mojitos
(And) I don't remember a thing
So, I must have had fun
The next night I met Zechia
With lips so sweet as sangria
And she went down as warm
and smooth as Malibu Rum
Verse:
All the girls are appeasin'
and exceptionally pleasin'
When you stay at the Caribbean Moon
If you get drunk off your head
They'll tuck you in the bed
And, wake you with Bloody Marys at noon
As for the rest of your needs
You won't have to plead
Because they know you will be leavin' there soon
No matter how old I get
I'll never forget
those nights at the Caribbean Moon
CHORUS
Bridge:
The white sandy beaches melt into the sea so blue
It's a tropical paradise
Designed to entice
Where all of your dreams will come true
Verse:
There's a place you can play
down on Half Moon bay
It's called the Caribbean Moon
They've got beaches for swimmin'
and tropical women
with eyes that will make your heart swoon
And, you can sway in the breeze
with the cocoanut trees
as a steel drum band plays a tune
No matter how old I get
I'll never forget
those nights at the Caribbean Moon
Outro:
No matter how old I get
I'll never forget
Those nights at the Caribbean Moon
No matter how old I get
I'll never forget
Those nights at the Caribbean Moon
