There’s a hurricane down in Baja

Everybody’s leavin’ town.

Blocking up all the windows

nailing everything down.

Unbelievable things are happenin’

In all that wind & rain.

Tide’s so high, it’ll touch the sky

Wash everything away

Wash everything away...

But up here it’s like Hawaii

Now my garden’s al ablaze

And I’m thin’ all about coconuts

And grass skirt girls in leis.

And it feels just like Hawaii

Takin’ off my flowered shirt.

Air’s so warm from the tropical storm

Find some shade, so I don’t get burnt.

(chorus) Nothin; wrong with feeling good

When you find, some paradise

You think you could? Well, you really should

You don’t get to do this twice

And it feels just like Hawaii

Watchin’ surfers ride the swell

And the women look so easy

But I guess, you just can’t tell.

And it feels just like Hawaii

Now the night’s turned soft & cool.

Gentle breeze, dancin’ in the trees

And the moon’s grinning, like a fool.

(chorus)

And it feels just like Hawaii

And it feels just like Hawaii

There’s that hurricane down in Baja

Takin’ everything in the flood

Washin’ homes off the hillside

Buryin’ the streets in mud

Buryin’ the streets in mud

I guess things could always be worse... I was driving my fine VW bus bitching about the humidity - even Southern California has a nasty muggy spell around October. The A/C wasn't working but the radio was. A story came on about how just a little ways down south of us, this same weather system was tearing Acapulco apart with a hurricane. Still, all we could do was bitch about the "Bloody Weather!"
