tonight's alive
the beach ball's set to fly
those well tequila'd guys
who smile at strangers


ŕ tes souhaits
ŕ tes amours chéri
you give a little sneeze
and dance the rhu-rhu-rhu-rhu-rhumba


this life is sweet
we're dancin' in the street
who knows who you might meet?
you'll do fine.


the little weekend's here
thursday has an ear

she talks to strangers.


and kissing by the sea
particular to me
'ti punch, mojito, sling and
dance the rhu-rhu-rhu-rhu-rhumba.


this life is sweet
we're dancin' in the street
who knows who you might meet?
you'll do fine.


we flash the seaside sky
with starfish butterflies
to cast a spell and welcome locals,
weekenders and strangers.


You'll do fine
You'll do fine
You'll do fine
