| D | G | D | |
| S | qualls out on the gulf stream, | big storms comin' soon |
| G | D | E7 | A7 | |
| I pa | ssed out in my ham | mock, | God, I slept 'till way past | noon |
| G | D | |
| Stood up and tried to fo | cus |
| C | G | A | |
| I hoped I wouldn't have to look far |
| G | D | |
| I | knew I could use a Bloody Ma | ry |
| A7 | D | |
| so I s | tumbled next door to the | bar |
| Chorus: |
| D | Bm | F#m | |
| And now I m | ust confess, I could | use some rest |
| G | A7 | D | |
| I can't run at this | pace very l | ong |
| Bm | F#m | |
| Yes it's | quite insane, I think it | hurts my brain |
| G | A7 | D | |
| But it c | leans me out and the | n I can go | on |
| There's something about this Sunday, it's a most peculiar gray |
| Strolling down the avenue that's known as A1A |
| I was feeling tired, then I got inspired |
| And I knew that it wouldn't last long |
| So all alone I walked back home, sat on my beach |
| and then I made up this song |
| (repeat chorus) |
| Well, the wind is blowin' harder now, fifty knots or there abouts |
| There's white caps on the ocean, and I'm watchin' for waterspouts |
| It's time to close the shutters, it's time to go inside |
| In a week I'll be in gay Paris |
| Well that's a mighty long airplane ride |
| (repeat chorus and fade) |
