The lyric has been revamped (again) 🙂 since the below… (Edit: March 17th, 2016.)
(The lyric below reflects improvements from the original version posted here — thanks to feedback from my inspirational songwriting buddies.)
1.
gonna laze at the pool in the shade where it’s cool
hearing ukulele music floating in the air
gonna stroll on the sand holding your hand
watching the sun wave good bye to the day
i love you so much and i’ll love you even more
when i’m walking with you on the honolulu shore, in my
new blue bikini
supercute swimming suit
wait ‘til you see me
in my new blue bikini
2.
it fits so good in the places it should
hugging my curves like the ocean hugs the shore
it’s the color of the sky in early july
denim blue that sings to the twinkle in my eye
bought it on sale today for only ten bucks
brand new with tags, ooo — talk about luck, got a
new blue bikini
supercute swimming suit
wait ‘til you see me
in my new blue bikini
(12 awesome measures of scintillating instrumental here, maybe something even a-la-Jimmy-Buffet-esque.))
3.
gonna catch a few rays, ‘n splash in the waves
where the dancing dolphins are laughing every day
gonna do as we please, just you and me
going on adventures that we’ve never had before
we’ve been working so hard but we’ll be playing soon
i’ll be smooching with you on our second honeymoon, in my
new blue bikini
supercute swimming suit
ooo wait ‘til you see me
in my new blue bikini
cha-cha-cha!!!
~~ end of lyric.
