Hey! Now – Paul King Song Pitchers Publishers, ASCAP – 2022
Well it wasn’t supposed to go this way,
But the flight back home it got delayed,
And my buddies and me, we couldn’t stop having fun …
Next thing ya know we’re out on a boat,
Drinking shots of rum in the gulf of Mexico,
And we we all got to wondering what it’s like to be a beach bum …
Hey! Now I missed my flight,
Hey! Now I’m feeling alright,
Hey! Now I’m living the dream, I’m sitting on the beach and I won’t ever leave,
Hey! Now my friends are all here,
Hey! Now pass me a cold beer,
Hey! Now the parties going strong, I guess I’ve known all along, I’m just not going home,
The island life is what life’s about, Hey Now!
Well that Blue Chair Bay Rum it sure did it’s job,
And this sure beats fighting that freeway mob,
I really don’t think, I’ll ever go back to work …
They can shove that factory where the sun doesn’t shine,
I won’t be doing that nine to five,
So I called my boss to quit and told him he was a jerk (yeah he is!)
Hey! Now I missed my flight,
Hey! Now I’m feeling alright,
Hey! Now I’m living the dream, I’m sitting on the beach and I won’t ever leave,
Hey! Now my friends are all here,
Hey! Now pass me a cold beer,
Hey! Now the parties going strong, I guess I’ve known all along, I’m just not going home,
The island life is what life’s about, Hey Now!
When you’ve got one shot, you’ve got one chance, and only you’ve only got one remedy,
You take your shot, you take your chance, and you make new memories …
Hey! Now I missed my flight,
Hey! Now I’m feeling alright,
Hey! Now I’m living the dream, I’m sitting on the beach and I won’t ever leave,
Hey! Now my friends are all here,
Hey! Now pass me a cold beer,
Hey! Now the parties going strong, I guess I’ve known all along, I’m just not going home,
The island life is what life’s about, Hey Now!
Hey now …. That boat was named HEY NOW ….
HEY! Nowwwwwwww…..
