Mary Gauthier Christmas In Paradise
Davey stole a Christmas tree from K-Mart last night
Red ribbons and silver bells, angels dressed in white
He tied, it to the bridge rail so passing cars could see
He danced a little dance up there, looked down and smiled at me
My bed is a lawn chair, cushions keep it soft
I sleep in the open air, under the Southern Cross
Next to the golf course by the Hyatt Hotel
Davey he is a friend of mine and we get along pretty well
Christmas in paradise under the Cow Key Bridge
Where the warm breeze blows so nice
And the landlord forgives
Snowbirds on the golf course wear Bermuda shorts and Polo shirts
Some play pretty good some play so bad it hurts
We pick up their golf balls that fly over the fence
We shine 'em up a little bit and sell 'em back for fifty cents
Christmas in paradise under the Cow Key Bridge
Where the warm breeze blows so nice
And the landlord forgives
I won't lie, we just get by but we'll be eating good tonight
Christmas dinner at 5 o'clock over at the Church of Life
They don't care who you are, they don't ask what you done
Come on down and bring a friend there's plenty for everyone
Christmas in paradise under the Cow Key Bridge
Where the warm breeze blows so nice
And the landlord forgives
The radio plays Christmas songs while we get high
And Davey shouts, ?Merry Christmas y'all?
To the cars passing by
Davey shouts, ?Merry Christmas y'all?
To the cars passing by
