Once upon a time there lived a man named Jack
Who went on vacation and decided never to come back
He wakes up every morning around half past ten
Finds his hammock and then falls asleep again cause he can
Welcome to heaven
Have a drink or three - this one's on me
We're in the business of burying our feet in the sand
And getting tan
A little later finds his fishing gear
He doesn't notice that he's been gone for a year
All he needs is his old six string
And a girl to listen to him sing
Welcome to heaven where the water's clear
Here, have a beer
We're open Monday to Sunday, dusk til dawn
All year long
He doesn't really have a job anymore
He goes on vacation just by walking out the front door
He goes to sea when he's tired and bored
He drinks a little
Then he drinks a little bit more
Welcome to heaven
Grab yourself a lei and hang in tight
We hope to see you at the beach today
The fire tonight
