| Met a man, sailor man
|
| With an island tan, down in Mexico
|
| Sittin' there, fish are everywhere
|
| Biggest one this year, couldn’t let 'em go
|
| I said, «Hey man, what’s your secret?»
|
| He said, «I'll tell you if you’ll say you’ll keep it
|
| You can throw out a line but you can’t make 'em bite
|
| You can drop a lime in your Corona Light»
|
| But you can’t drink all day
|
| If you don’t start in the mornin'
|
| Get to sipping on the dock of the bay
|
| Just watching that tide roll in, yeah
|
| Well, life’s sweeter than a margarita
|
| So you better get to pourin'
|
| 'Cause you can’t drink all day
|
| If you don’t start in the mornin'
|
| Oh, start in the mornin'
|
| Yeah, you can build you a big ol' castle in the sand
|
| Do a back flip off a catamaran
|
| You can bust your ass for a couple hundred grand
|
| But that ain’t gonna make you rich
|
| You can get you a hammock you can swing on
|
| Between two palm trees
|
| Señorita you can lean on’s all you need
|
| But you can’t drink all day
|
| If you don’t start in the mornin'
|
| Get to sipping on the dock of the bay
|
| Just watching that tide roll in, yeah
|
| Well life’s sweeter than a margarita
|
| So you better get to pourin'
|
| 'Cause you can’t drink all day
|
| If you don’t start in the mornin'
|
| Oh, start in the mornin'
|
| The glass is half full the way I see it
|
| Drink, it’s on the house
|
| You can take it or leave it
|
| Or pour it out
|
| But you can’t drink all day
|
| If you don’t start in the mornin'
|
| Get to sipping on the dock of the bay
|
| Just watching that tide roll in, yeah
|
| Well, life’s sweeter than a margarita
|
| So you better get to pourin'
|
| 'Cause you can’t drink all day
|
| If you don’t start in the mornin'
|
| Oh, start in the mornin'
|
| Yeah, you gotta start in the morning
|
| Yeah, we’re gonna start in the morning |
