Maui Time

This morning, I’m living on Maui time
I got tropical breezes blow through the bougainvillea vine
Lost in a dream, sunscreened and blind
Jet lagged tourists all waiting in line
Might be one o’clock there but actually it’s just about nine

MP3

I’m gonna sit on the verandah and drink myself a Mai Tai
I’m a sunburned Haole, no one knows that better than I
I got the smile on my face of a person who knows
I got a front row seat when Kilauea blows
This morning I’m living on Maui time

We got fresh Kona coffee, there’s a place beside a big palm tree
Where tropical birds fly high across a turquoise sea
Jet lagged tourists all wait in a line
For the sky to turn purple suits ‘em just fine
This morning I’m living on Maui time
