Start on Key Plantain

Walk a tropical mile

You'll see a house

In the Spanish style

There's a room in back

With a view of the sea

Where she sits and dreams

Does she dream of me



When summer's gone

I get ready

To make that Carribee run

I've got to have

Some time in the sun



[Chorus:]

When the cold wind comes

I go where the dahlias bloom

I keep drifting back

To your Florida room



She's dressed too warm

For this latitude

We go out to lunch

With some Jamaican dude

Then the sunshower breaks

We come in out of the rain

But in her Florida room

There's a hurricane



While the city freezes over

We'll be strollin' down the shore

Can she bring me back

To life once more



[Chorus]



When summer's gone

I get ready

To make that Carribee run

I've got to have

Some time in the sun



[Chorus]
