This song is for Billy Clyde Tuggel. I hope you make it to Tahiti one day. --
Spoken: "Play Ball!! (one, two, three, four)" "Where's my per diem?
(Ladies and gentlemen, the Carl Reiner Band)" "Hey Bobby, where's the keys
to the rent-a-car?" "Jimmy, Jimmy, can I open the show in Atlanta
please?" "Warning! Don't ever start a band!"
He worked hard all year,
just wanted a few weeks alone But his old lady's into modelin', she can't
get away from a phone Besides she bitches about the mosquitoes She says,
"Down there there is nothing to do" Her goddamn phone never stops
ringin' He'll try the service in a day maybe two
Well he's on his
third drink before the wheels of the plane leave the ground Makin' points
with the stewardess high over Long Island Sound She's also spending some
time on the island Too much city madness gives her the blues They make a
date to go dancin' and dinin' It seems neither has that much to
lose
Chorus: The weather is here I wish you were beautiful My
thoughts aren't too clear but don't run away My girlfriend's a bore, my job
is too dutiful Hell nobody's perfect would you like to play? I feel
together today
Well now that's just the start of a well-deserved overdue
binge Meanwhile back in the city certain people are starting to
cringe His lawyers are calling his parents His girlfriend doesn't know
what to think His partners are studying their options He's just singin'
and orderin' drinks
Chorus: The weather is here I wish you were
beautiful The skies are too clear life's so easy today The beer is too
cold, the daiquiri's too fruitiful No place like home when you're this far
away I don't care what they say (I don't care)
He's goin' back to New
York pack it up and let everyone know It was something that he should have
done such a long time ago Still time to start a new life in the palm
trees Ah, Billy Clyde wasn't insane And if it doesn't work out there'll
never be any doubt That the pleasure was worth all the
pain
Chorus: The weather is here I wish you were beautiful The
skies are too clear life's so easy today The beer is too cold, the
daiquiri's too fruitiful No place like home when you're this far
away Time for to play I need time for to play Time for to play I
need time for to play I need time for to play I need time for to
play I need time for to play I need time for to play I need time for
to play
