Spamburgers in Paradise

Well it's getting pretty cold Over here in Baltimore I wish that I was on an island Drinking at a Tiki bar I'm going to take off early from work Put on my favorite Aloha shirt Grab my steel guitar Paradise feels like it ain't that far I'm dreaming that I'm a guest At the White Lotus Way out in the home of the first Black POTUS If I had a lot of cash I'd be lying on a beach of volcanic ash Trying hard to lose my focus Wasting time like my name is Otis Pour me a mai tai And make it cold And fix me up another Tuna poke bowl I want to get away From the rain and snow And relax til the day I get old A century ago Hawai'i was a sovereign nation Then it started filling up with American Sugar plantations Once we got a taste We went right in And invaded the place And soon that occupation Turned into an annexation Now this country has a habit of Taking stuff that isn't ours Then we go and hide it under Elvis Presley wearing hibiscus flowers We say we're the liberators But the truth is we're the invaders And you wonder why foreign powers Would want to go and knock down The twin towers Pour me a mai tai And make it cold And fix me up another Tuna poke bowl I want to get away From the rain and snow And relax til the day I get old Well I hear Hawai'i is a beautiful place Full of ugly history that We refuse to face It was never ours Well a fact's a fact Like Peter Garrett said It's time to give it back Pour me some coffee It's getting cold I hope I see Hawai'i Before I get old But until it's free I'm not going to go I guess I'll just Have to deal with the snow Pour me a mai tai And make it cold And fix me up another Tuna poke bowl I want to get away From the rain and snow And relax til the day I get old
