Oh, I'm sick o' wasting leather on gritty paving stones
And blasted winter weather wakes the fever in my bones
I'll walk barefoot with our freepers
On this dandy, sandy strand
This neater, sweeter beach front on greener, cleaner land
Ship me to this par-a-dise
I'll put my shades upon my eyes
While lookin' lazy down the shore where no whiny lib'ral cries
On the beach at Princess Cay-ay
Where the flyin' freepers play-ay
With ourselves beneath umbrellas on a shiny, briny day
Where the sun comes up like thunder
Out of Nassau 'crost the bay
