Cabana Boy
By: Noah Eaton
8/24/04

Cabana Boy,
cabana boy,
cabana boy,
cabana boy!

(Hello, front desk?
I need towels!)

Wake-up call's at five,
better hurry-scurry to the shower,
slip on the Coppertone,
don't wanna be a paleface, no sir!
Posing behind Maui Jim's,
and his favorite Hawaiian shirt,
he's a loose goofy foot cognoscente,
he doesn't only live, he's living to serve...

(Say kid, who do you think you are,
the Prince of Whales?
Here, let me train you,
in the ways of Jedi defence!)

Ring the answering bell,
and he'll come rushing like a littoral drift,
a smile of Vitamin E, cheeks of avobenzone,
an off-the-lip grommet working the shifts,
putting up the badminton nets,
rush-delivering your mango smoothie,
he's a pro at beach blanket bingo,
he lives vicariously through Longboard magazine

Cabana Boy,
cabana boy,
cabana boy,
cabana boy!

(Your eyes say "Hello sailor!",
your lips say "Whoa, total layback!"
Did love come and give you a facial,
cause I see its Mikasa Tattoo on your face!)

(If you serve too many lollipops,
you gonna get licked!
I'm gonna show you how to block like Mickey Mouse,
gonna show you what it is to digging lips!)

Wake-up call's at five,
better hurry-scurry to the shower,
slip on the Coppertone,
don't wanna be a paleface, no sir!
Yeah, he's comin' in at breakneck speed,
when he's around it's an endless summer, ooohhhh,
when his heart's around the resort,
he gets the beach pumping like it's Vanuatu...

Cabana Boy,
cabana boy,
cabana boy,
cabana boy!

(Summer is an endless rain check,
never turn it in, just wait and see what you get!
Summer is an endless rain check,
never turn it in, just wait and see what you get!
Summer is an endless rain check,
never turn it in, just wait and see what you get!
Summer is an endless rain check,
never turn it in, just wait and see what you get!)

"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other"

Wow! That was one calypsoish, maraca-shaking bit of cha cha cha-ing, Dear Cabana Angel!

Beautiful...nothing more to say.  I wish summer would never end...yet I know that if it doesn't I'll never learn to miss it so.  

Keep dancin' Beautiful Stranger!
