(Repeat Intro) Verse 2: The waterfront is alight/ with Citronella flame Tourists flash in the night/ from the grottoes and Gathering now on the heel-worn planks for a drunken Form another, a mumble (?) And lovers paddle a boat/ on the molten bay Peering into the the reeds/ on a ripple And playing it cool/ in a bar by the pool With a Caribbean Kiss Amaretto Chorus 2: Give us a room, with a mountain view: A tiny cabana by the water, yeah by the water and I, Got a rental for an hour or two, for a ride up the coast And a dip in the ocean. (Repeat intro) Bridge: Get a load of the light in the trees and the Sweet decay on the maritime breeze The sun's hitching on a weather balloon And the heat of the tarmac Burning a hole in a gold afternoon (Solo- variation on the intro/verse) Chorus 3: Give us a room, with a mountain view: A tiny cabana by the water, yeah by the water and I, Got a rental for an hour or two, and a bottle and cooler With some maps and a big brown towel It's a beater, but today will do For a ride up the coast, and a dip in the ocean. Outro: In the ocean In the ocean
