Lyrics
I needed a vacation
You know, someplace exotic
Where beautiful full bodied native girls reek of coconut scented suntan lotion
A place I could drink the water
And all for just forty nine ninety five
So, I called Clive Dinky's
The home of the "no splinter, full woody" tropical dream vacation and spa salon
(Oh ha ha ha)
Two hours later, there I am
Lookin' straight into the eyes of Mona, "The Monkey Woman"
When all of a sudden, my Ziggy Marley accent kicks in
"Uh oh, Polo, what'cha got down der?
Lookacho belly man, put it in de air
Pick 'em up, put 'em down, count 'em up queek
Watcha got dere bruddah, how much it gonna take?
Let me know, bigalow, cat gotcha tongue?
Pick 'em up, put 'em down, kachicky boo chung"
Come on, sugar, take a walk with me
Down on the sand by the deep blue sea
Take off yer shoes, gonna stay for a week
Pick 'em up, put 'em down, count 'em up queek
Mona had this crazy laugh
(Wha ha ha ha ha)
And was extremely short for her weight
I figure about seven feet
(Ahh)
All of a sudden she points to a sign that says
"Welcome to our sa, Mr. Polo."
Huh! Sa... S-A?
So I say to her
"Hey, Mona, there's no 'p' in the spa,"
And she says, "Yeah, and we'd like to keep it that way."
(Oh ha ha ha)
Come on, sugar, take a walk with me
Down on the sand by the deep blue sea
Take off your shoes, gonna stay for a week
Pick 'em up, put 'em down, count 'em up queek
So, here's what I got
One shaken, not stirred piña colada
A plastic shower cap from the Slipper Inn
Two hours in a heated "sa"
An eight by ten glossy of Mona, "The Monkey Woman"
And the world's most dangerous Ziggy Marley accent
(Oh, ha ha ha) "pick 'em up, put 'em down, kachicky boo chung"
And all for just forty nine ninety five, at Clive Dinky's
The home of the "no splinter, full woody" tropical dream vacation and spa salon
Come on, sugar, take a walk with me
Down on the sand by the deep blue sea
Take off your shoes, gonna stay for a week
Pick 'em up, put 'em down, count 'em up queek
