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
