Paradise, Quickly by John Frinzi
[Intro chords]
F G C Dm F G C
[Chorus]
C E7 F G
I was looking around, I saw buildings and streets
C E7 F G
To hell with all that, I?m building a beach.
F G C A
Where everything?s sunny and nothing goes wrong,
F G Dm C
The men all wear flip-flops, the girls all wear thongs.
E7
Over there will be sea grass, right there is the pier,
F
A volleyball court, surf shop, and free beer,
E7
Concessions that sell Jello shots and sun lotion,
F G
Plenty of palm trees the wind keeps in motion.
C E7 F G
A bike rental tent and twenty-four bars,
C E7 F G
A dozen trash cans and no police cars,
C E7 F G
Lifeguard towers, an arcade, and a strand,
F G C
Plus plenty of space for water and sand.
[Chorus]
E7
Teak lounging chairs, big beach umbrellas,
F
Truck tire tubes for floating the shallows,
E7
An ice cream stand where no one goes broke,
F G
An open-air bandstand with No Kareoke,
C E7 F G
Plenty of space between the playground for the kiddies,
C E7 F G
And the big topless section, so the tots can?t see skin,
C E7 F G
At five every day, an Awards Cere mony,
F G C
When we honor the party and weed out the phonies.
[Chorus]
E7
The name of my beach is Southeast Saint Breezy
F
The schedule is slow and the living is easy,
E7
Relax in the condos, with no sales gimmicks,
F G
Fish sandwich lunches, and naps in the hammocks.
C E7 F G
The day-sailors all make it home by sun down,
C E7 F G
It?s premier, inclusive, and no money down,
C E7 F G
It?s all going to happen, and this one?s the truth,
F G C
No waiting in line at the Fun Ticket booth.
