Hawaiian Tropic

Recommended Posts

Hawaiian tropic dark and a bottle of jack

In the Cadillac as I drive down the highway

You aren't coming back and I know that now

so I let the wind hit me in my face

 

Every man gets his wish,

Every man gets his wish

 

Your red hawaiian shirt and your hair jet black

Hangin' round with your friends by the track

Baby, you can't come back from being that bad

Just to sit at home, pledge allegiance to the flag

 

Every man gets his wish, 

Every man gets his wish

You told me this, now you're gone

 

Copacabana, yes, in my party dress,

I’m shimmering in love on that crystal meth

A Coca Cola kid, roller coaster child

You're my everything, give me that baby doll smile

 

Every man gets his wish,

Every man gets his wish

You told me this, where is mine?

Every man gets his wish,

Every man gets his wish

You told me this, were you lying?

 

And the Velvet Elvis and the rosaries

And your white Corvette under willow trees

You the one for me, my one true king

 

Every man gets his wish,

Every man gets his wish

You told me this, now you're gone

Every man gets his wish,

Every man gets his wish

You told me this, now you're gone

 

I remember,

(Every man gets his wish),

Party dresses

(Every man gets his wish),

I remember,

(Every man gets his wish),

Party dresses

(Now you're gone)

 

Every man gets his wish,

Every man gets his wish

But sometimes it comes too late

This is what I got:

 

Hawaiian Tropic Dark,
And a bottle of jack,
In the Cadillac as I drive,
Down the highway.
 
You aren't coming back,
And I know that now,
So I let the wind hit me,
In my face.
 
Every man gets his wish,
Every man gets his wish.
 
Your red hawaiian shirt,
And your hair jet black,
Hangin' round with your,
Friends by the track.
 
Baby, you can't come back,
From bein' that bad,
Just to sit at home,
Pledge allegiance to the flag.
 
Every man gets his wish,
Every man gets his wish,
You told me this,
Now you're gone.
 
Copacabana, yes,
In my party dress,
I'm shimmering in love
On that crystal meth.
 
A coca cola kid,
Rollercoaster child,
My everything, give me,
That babydoll smile.
 
Every man gets his wish,
Every man gets his wish,
You told me this
Where is mine?
 
Every man gets his wish,
Every man gets his wish,
You told me this,
Were you lyin'?
 
And the Velvet Elvis,
And the rosaries,
And your white Corvette,
Under willow trees,
You the one for me,
My one true king.
 
Every man gets his wish,
Every man gets his wish,
You told me this,
Now you're gone.
 
Every man gets his wish,
Every man gets his wish,
You told me this,
Now you're gone.
 
I remember,
(Every man gets his wish),
Party dresses.
(Every man gets his wish),
I remember,
(Every man gets his wish),
Party dresses.
(Now you're gone).
 
Every man gets his wish,
Every man gets his wish,
But sometimes it comes too late.

Did anyone else think this song was gonna have "St. Tropez" vibes and be really beachy and smooth?

 

 

My thoughts exactly!  :toofunny:

I'm with you both, but this was a nice surprise despite previous anticipations. 1949, DM, HT, and EMGHS are like this one huge entity, and it's so interesting.

Today I randomly found out that Hawaiian Tropic is an American brand of tanning products that has been around for ages and apparently is quite associated with beauty pageants, beach bunnies and the likes thereof. Lanas never ending love for American kitsch strikes again!
