Christmas In Paradise

Christmas In Paradise - Mary Gauthier

Written by：Mary Gauthier/Crit Harmon

Davey stole a Christmas tree from K Mart last night

Red ribbons and silver bells

Angels dressed in white

He tied it to the bridge rail passing cars could see

He did a little dance up there

Looked down and smiled at me

My bed is a lawn chair cushions keep it soft

I sleep in the open air

Under the Southern Cross

Next to the golf course by the Hyatt Hotel

Davey is a friend of mine and we get along pretty well

Christmas in paradise under the Cow Key Bridge

Where the warm breeze blows so nice

And the landlord forgives

Snowbirds on the golf course wear Bermuda shorts and polo shirts

Some play pretty good some play so bad it hurts

We pick up their golf balls that fly over the fence

Shine 'em up a little bit sell 'em back for fifty cents

Christmas in paradise under the Cow Key Bridge

Where the warm breeze blows so nice

And the landlord forgives

I won't lie

We just get by but we'll be eating good tonight

Christmas dinner at 5 o'clock over at the Church of Life

They don't care who you are they don't ask what you done

Come on down and bring a friend there's plenty for everyone

Christmas in paradise under the Cow Key Bridge

Where the warm breeze blows so nice

And the landlord forgives

The radio plays Christmas songs while we get high

Davey shouts Merry Christmas y'all

To the cars passing by

Davey shouts Merry Christmas y'all

To the cars passing by
