I'll Take Belize Please

a caribbean tale of sun, water, earth and a Perl

I'll Take Belize Please

the water so blue in the caribbean sea

I could almost see the reflection of me

the palm trees with banana and coconut

the man on the corner chewing a cigar butt

the gentle breeze and sun so bright

the only thing better than the cool soft night

me friend Gomer he say to me

I'd like to dive to find the perly

I knew what he meant it must be so

he thinks of the perl wherever he go

in his straw brimmed hat drinking the rum

he pick up his guitar and he begin to strum

it was a song of cheer and a song of sad

so glad he be here but still feeling bad

he try to shake off saying oh what the hell

swirling the rum in his coconut shell

he still wanted to share this beautiful place

he wished to see the smile on her face

her long golden hair blowing in the wind

the sand on her feet and then he grinned

it was a thought that only he knew

and maybe one other member of the crew

an imginary hug a gentle kiss fall to his knees

if you don't mind he'll take Balize please
