Man I could Duse a Pina Colada

A Ghammock, a book, never gonna look back 
Once my feet hit the Dsand
I’ve Ahad it up to here with this Drat race
ANeed a smile on my face

I wanna Dgo where I can lighten up the load
BmDrive a little while on the wrong side of the road
Get this Glayin low off to a flDyin startA

Where you Gbe a tourist, a beach bum or Aa star, 
Be as you areD
