On our humble orchard, the sun rises again Quite a day we have ahead Another minute to hold everything in Then let out every tear that could be shed On this quiet morning, we hear you say goodbye and then never look back
No matter how far you have gone remember you can always come back home
On our humble orchard, All in a day’s work Another sunset will falls Another moment where you’re on my mind, I wonder, "were ever home at all?" On this quiet evening, below two shooting stars I wish could tell you goodnight and say
No matter how far you have gone remember you can always come back home
The break of the daylight, I hear the rooster crow Attacked by the morning rays The sun follows you as you ran home You sure brightened up our day
I’ve heard it many times, but now I understand when they say home is where the heart is
No matter how far the hardship sailed There’s always a way back ashore No matter how far you have gone Remember you can always come back home

I used to love Steven Universe. Although I stopped watching around season 5, I think much of the music still holds up. This song always stuck with me, partially because I'm a sucker for folksy stuff, but also because of the feelings of adventurous anticipation. I actually covered this song years back, but it sounds awful lol. Considering I've come a long way in production, and arrangement, I figured I should try it again. Special thanks to Alitreot for the awesome artwork.
It's time to get moving, time for us to have some fun There's no time to hang around Our adventure's just begun We'll be thinking 'bout our friends as we chase the setting sun but we're leaving them behind, we're on the run.
We're on the run I don't care about what all the others say (we're on the run) Well I guess there are some things that will just never go away, I (we're on the run) wish that I could see that there's no better place than home But home's a place that I have never known That's why we're on the runIMPORTANT CHANGESCrusader!2023-12-03 | Reworking things from the ground up.

Some of you may know that I originally wrote this song in 2016, inspired greatly by the themes of MLP; FiM, which I think anyone can appreciate. As I was going through old work, I was immediately inspired to remake this one. I love the simplicity and I think the production is quite an upgrade...the original mix was terrible lol. Not much more to say besides...friendship is magic /)

Pinball Lez is shacked up With Nan's girlfriend Reconditioning pinballs He farms them out again
The word on the street is suggesting Things aren't so great At the St. Lucia residence Things are pretty quiet at night
And no-one seems to be Answering the phone
Oh Lez come home (Leslie!) The pinballs need you Oh Lez come home (Leslie!) I promise the school-kids won't tease you Oh Lez come home (Leslie!) The cops will understand everything Oh Lez come home (Leslie!) The casinos are rigged to beat you
Lez has given up He's moving out to Stanthorpe Swidden agriculture Things are pretty quiet at night
Out in the fields today No-one seems to be Answering the phone

It's another bad dream Poison in my blood stream I'm dying but I can't scream Will you show me the way?
It's another wolf bite Howlin' in the moonlight I wanna get my life right! Will you show me the way? Tonight
If the darkness falls, and my angel calls In my despair Will you be there? In the darkest night When I need your light Will you show me the way
If my time runs out And the sky falls down Despite my fear Will you appear? If the world goes blind And i lose my mind Will you show me the way? Tonight
Will you show me the way, tonight? Will you show me the way, tonight?
It's another nightmare I swear there's something out there So save me cause i'm so scared Will you show me the way?
It's another werewolf All dressed up in sheep's wool And changing when the moon's full Will you show me the way?
If the darkness falls, and my angel calls In my despair Will you be there? In the darkest night When I need your light Will you show me the way?
If my time runs out And the sky falls down Despite my fear Will you appear? If the world goes blind And i lose my mind Will you show me the way? Tonight

Anyone who knows me knows I love Talespin and the Jungle book. They also know who's in my top three husbandos. I thought I'd have some fun and write a silly pop love song uwu Special thanks to Thunder the Frolf for the epic guitar solo and to Lytle for the sexy artwork.
Well, it’s a jungle out there and I’m feeling like prey You’re the one predator I’d like to have in my way Your shadow covers all of me and then some, ain’t that somethin’ I’ll fight you like a bear, you’ll pin me down, and I’ll still win
You make my heart take off faster than the sea duck My heartstrings’ out of tune, yet you know just the right notes to pluck Oh man, what a beat, they sure put you in the zone I like to sing tenor, i bet you like to sing bear-i-tone
So, what do you say? Let’s make some music
Let out a big bear growl and scare the monkeys clouds away My skies are clear, can I be your copilot today? I’ll navigate us somewhere we can be alone, just you and me Oh, you better believe That you’re my necessity My bear necessity, and I’m hoping that you’ll come to me
Fall apart in your backyard, you’ll catch me absolutely You think you’ve seen everything in these woods? Wait ‘till I show you all of me My heart pounds and I get with the beat I swear I’m honey and you’re the bee Scat sing and swing it around You can make sweet rhythm from any little sound Soft, Round, fluffy and a fuzzy face I just can’t get enough of your furry embrace When life stings me like a prickly pear, I can always get a lift from ol’ papa bear
So what do you say? Take me away
Let out a big bear growl and scare the monkeys clouds away My skies are clear, can I be your copilot today? I’ll navigate us somewhere we can be alone, just you and me Oh, you better believe That you’re my necessity My bear necessity, and I’m hoping that you’ll come to me
I look up to you like I’m your biggest fan When our eyes meet, it’s like “yeah, man!”

I loved this song ever since I first heard it from Peter, Paul, and Mary. You may also know it under the name Gilgarra Mountain. This is one of those folk songs that's been redone and rehashed by so many people that I'm pretty sure no one knows who originally wrote it. Special thanks to Brittney Ackerman for the cute artwork. Lyrics and socials below.
As I was ridin' over the far famed Kerry Mountains I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was countin' I first produced my pistol and then I drew my sabre Said "Stand and deliver for I am a bold deceiver"
Musha ringum durm'da Whack fol the daddy-o Whack fol the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar
I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny I put it in my pocket and I took it home to Jenny She said and she swore that she never would betray me The devil take the women for they never can be easy
Musha ringum durm'da Whack fol the daddy-o Whack fol the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar
I went up to my chamber all for to take a slumber I dreamt of gold and jewels, boys, and sure it was no wonder But Jenny took my charges and she filled them up with water Then sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter
Musha ringum durm'da Whack fol the daddy-o Whack fol the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar
Next day just as I was leavin', was early in the mornin' The captain and his soldiers came at me without warnin' I then produced my pistol, she stole away my sabre I couldn't shoot the water so a prisoner I was taken
Musha ringum durm'da Whack fol the daddy-o Whack fol the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar
I'd like to find my brother, he's the one that's in the army I don't know where he's stationed, is it Cork or in Killarney? Together we'll go ridin' o'er the mountains of Kilkenny Oh, I know he'll treat me better than my darlin' sportin' Jenny
Musha ringum durm'da Whack fol the daddy-o Whack fol the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar
Musha ringum durm'da Whack fol the daddy-o Whack fol the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar
There's some delight in fishin' and some delight in bowlin' And some take delight in their carriages a-rollin' But I take delight in the juice of the barley And courtin' pretty girls in the mornin' bright and early
Musha ringum durm'da Whack fol the daddy-o Whack fol the daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar

In light of my Bluey obsession, I wrote a love song for the ultimate dad. I probably worked too hard on this one but it was so much fun. That sick solo you're hearing was done by Thunder the Frolf and the awesome artwork is by Beary Splash. Follow them both uwu
Bright eyed and bushy tailed from the very start I bet they call you Bandit because you’ve stolen so many hearts Oh, oh, oh You’ve stolen so many hearts Let’s play “follow the leader”, I’ll be right behind Take me to a place you love, we can sit and unwind Oh, oh, oh Just chill and unwind
Sweet as a duck cake, calm as the creek No need for any digging, I’ll give all that you seek Soft as a rag doll, won’t you snuggle with me
Let’s turn the lights down, put on some tunes If you don’t mind I’d like to use a dance mode on you Me and you are a real fairytale come true
Check in the hotel, let’s share a room I won’t be a crazy pillow at all, I promise you An early putdown, we’ll be close 'til the night is through
Let’s set the mood, I’ll let you pick the tunes We have one more dance mode and right now is your que You’re a prince and this is my fairytale come trueFlow - Crusader! [ORIGINAL SONG]Crusader!2023-04-07 | STREAM AND DOWNLOAD BELOW
Nothing much to say. Just a song about finding joy in the little things after being in a rut. I'll let this one speak for itself. Thanks to Alitreot for the artwork and, of course, to my patrons!
A fresh pot of coffee and the fresh morning air The dawn finishes breaking when I walk down the stairs This week has been a little more than I can bare So I’ll jump in this day feet first with nothing prepared
Is this how is feels to go to bed on time I have nowhere I need to go and it feels sublime I can just let my alarm be the breeze hitting the chimes Taking it easy for a day has felt always like a crime
Scoo-bop-ba du-bop-bay
Now, this is my day
Woah oh The river keeps its flow, without the time to spare Woah oh Lay down and let it go, let it take me anywhere
No matter where I am, I’ll find my way back home And be welcomed by the cool side of the pillow
Woah oh Just like the river’s flow It’s best for me to just lay back and let it go
This is the type of weather that calls for shorts and a sweater I’ll zip it halfway up and roll my sleeves up together From place to place, I’ll just lay until the sky is blushing Not much I plan today except a lot of nothing
Latte from the cafe and a sweet little snack Just focus on what I have and forget what I lack The tree is lowering the best fruit just within my reach and my day’s a just little sweeter from this cute little feast
The voice that tells me “get back to work” Has been rolled up and batted away I say good riddance!
The smoke that I breathe out hovers up above and forms a cloud on top of me I shiver and roll my sleeves back down to ready myself for the breeze Laying down on the grass, the sun tucks me in under a blanket of rays Red eyes and a lazy grin, I’m feeling good, this is my day
Woah oh The river keeps its flow, without the time to spare Woah oh Lay down and let it go, let it take me anywhere
No matter where I am, I’ll find my way back home And be welcomed by the cool side of the pillow
Woah oh Just like the river’s flow
It’s best for me to just lay back and let it goAsk Me Anything - March 2023Crusader!2023-03-26 | It's been too long and I'm sure I'll have the time to do this often enough. Thank you all for your support. Expect a new track in less than two weeks ;3 socials and credits below

Just another day on the boardwalk Just another day on the boardwalk Whether on foot on wheels, alone or with friends I’m fancy free on the boardwalk
Just another day on the boardwalk Just another day on the boardwalk Whether on foot on wheels, alone or with friends I’m fancy free on the boardwalk
Step into my backyard and breathe ocean air The waves roar and crash in rhythm as they hit the shore like a snare
Balmy sun rays wrap around me Snug as a bug in a rug, feels like a warm hug Places to go and things to do, all that will have to wait another day, whoa
[Chorus] Just another day on the boardwalk Just another day on the boardwalk Whether on foot on wheels, alone or with friends I’m fancy free on the boardwalk
Fun and fancy free on the boardwalk Fun and fancy free on the boardwalk The sun shines on me when I waltz on air Strutting my way down on the boardwalk
Everyone needs a place to go where they can dress down, lie down, with no worries for miles around Where time will stay still for you to chill right on the sand or have a thrill until the waves take you back to dry land
Syncopated rhythms that make you want to strut There’s music all around that takes me out of any rut Like a flying disc, time sure flew today There’s already traffic, so why don’t we stay
Just a little longer

There are times when you’ll want to lasso the sun just to extend the day, If only for a little longer I’ll stay up later than I often would do to claim today as mine, The only thing that I can conquer
After having a rough day like this, A warm room, my favorite show, and a snack brings me bliss A cup of decaf with some cinnamon to go with my treat I’m skipping straight to dessert and there is nothing that can stop me
A perfect blend of sour and sweet Some zesty glaze on top makes it complete When the day has thrown more at you than you can take There’s nothing like a piece of cloudy lemon cake
I want to just inhale this sweet and sour flavor but this dessert deserves a good, hefty lengthy savor This is the best thing to happen today, i know that’s not saying much, But it’s the only thing that went my way
Ice cold milk will wash it down real nice You know what else is nice? Oh, I think another slice, yeah If the glaze was in a pool, I’d be quite the swimmer No one can tell me I can have dessert for dinner
A perfect blend of sour and sweet Some zesty glaze on top makes it complete When the day has thrown more at you than you can take There’s nothing like a piece of cloudy lemon cake

Nothing like the scent of the ocean air To bring the feeling of the old days back to now I guess that I’m still young but I feel a little younger than I did this morning
The breeze hits stronger than ten years ago I roll my sleeves back down and shiver I used to fight against the weather These days, i find myself going with it
I think of everyone I walked down this path with and everyone who still walks with me now and everyone who’s joined along the way I’ll tell you what, only the best have stuck around
I’m not close to where I thought I’d be I’m just hoping life will endow The past is the past, the future will come but don’t forget life is happening here and now
Here tonight, let’s end the day with our song On top of our lungs, sing and shout This, right here, is what it’s all about Here tonight, nothing can stop this song inside We’ll find our way somehow Don’t forget life is here and now
There’s a lot that we have going on right now but I’m sure so much of it is worth a song Don’t forget to sing it once a day Whenever you feel just a little down
“Count your blessings”, I’d shout at everyone because there’s so much they had that I wanted to I wish i started doing the same thing and realize that they have their baggage too
I’m not close to where I thought I’d be but I know I’ll get there somehow The past is the past, you can’t stop the future but life is happening here and now
Here tonight, let’s end the day with our song On top of our lungs, sing and shout This, right here, is what it’s all about Here tonight, nothing can stop this song inside We’ll find our way somehow Don’t forget life is here and now
Tomorrow, we’ll go back to the same old things That’s okay because there’s so much from tonight that we will bring We’ve dragged heavy hearts along the longest way The trail you’re on may be long, but you’re farther than yesterday
Good night, my friends I hope you have the sweetest dreams Just before we go, how about one more song
Here tonight, let’s end the day with our song On top of our lungs, sing and shout This, right here, is what it’s all about Here tonight, nothing can stop this song inside We’ll find our way somehow Don’t forget life is here and nowEvery Year - Crusader!

Front porch serenades, The whole world hears our echoes These are the nights I live for Only visiting, there’s never enough time and there’s always so much in store
Lonely freshman years, the whole world was my oyster When I ran into you Barely sober nights, this is what it’s all about I don’t know much but I know this is the life
Every year has a song that takes me back to moments and feelings I wish would never end I’ll sing it once in a while, and feel like that you’re with me again Here with me again, One day it won’t be pretend
Never so fulfilled, the world seemed a bit different just for a little while Storms would follow me, then flee right at the sight of you, never seen for miles
The first time in my life, I didn’t mind not going home I guess I figured home was wherever you are
Every year has a song that takes me back to moments and feelings I wish would never end I’ll sing it once in a while, and feel like that you’re with me again Here with me again, One day it won’t be pretend
From the whitest Winters to clear Summer skies So much has been written since our last goodbyes The things I would have said if I knew it’d be our last
There’s a song that I know that takes me back to our endeavors If only it would last
Every year has a song that takes me back to moments and feelings I wish would never end They all say that life goes on I sure know that, but I’m still here wishing you could move on with me Do you ever think of me? Do you ever think of me? I always think of you Do you ever think of me?TEXAS FURRY FIESTA 2023Crusader!2023-02-14 | Hope to see y'all there! Stalk my socials. Support me on Patreon.

Mr. Blue I told you that I love you Please, believe me
Mr. Blue I have to go now, darling Don't be angry
I know that you're tired Know that you're sore and sick and sad for some reason So I leave you with a smile Kiss you on the cheek And you will call it treason
Well, that's the way it goes some days A fever comes at you without a warning And I can see it in your face You've been waiting to break since you woke up this morning
Mr. Blue Don't hold your head so low That you can't see the sky Mr. Blue It ain't so long since you were flying high
Mr. Blue
Mr. Blue
Mr. Blue

Just a song about childhood reminiscence. I'll let this one speak for itself. Just remember, before you ask which way to go, remember where you've been.
Special thanks to Alitreot for the artwork. Be sure to follow him.
Also, special thanks to my patrons. I can't be grateful enough for your support
Pull the covers right off and jump right on my feet I’ll watch something colorful and have a little treat Something good and sweet because I’ll need the energy I don’t know what this day has planned for me, but hey, I’ll see
See you later, mom and dad, I’ll be out and about I don’t know where we’re going, but I’ll be home by sundown For dinner, I’ll just have the same thing I have every night After all, why would I change what’s always been perfectly fine
That was a day, I’ll remember for the rest of my life Those were the days Lots of time has passed, But I’m as young and bold as decades ago
The sun is shining over open fields made for a run Whoever reaches the top of this tree is number one I don’t know where this ball came from, but let’s kick it around Our cheering, laughing, singing can be heard throughout the town
Later, come on by and join us for a special feast I’m sure my folks won’t mind if you stay for the night, at least We’ll watch something, we’ll play games, make hijinks ‘till the rising sun Whenever we’re together, there’s always a way to have some fun
Those were the days I’ll remember for the rest of my life Those were the days Lots of time has passed, But I’m as young and bold as decades ago
I’m now old enough to say “back in my day”, but I’m just realizing how much time I have left anyway I may fall harder than when I was a kid, but I still get up just the same
It wasn’t always easy, it wasn’t always fun, but ask me if there’s something I’d change, I would say “not one” The stars I used to gaze upon have finally aligned While we all have our memories, these ones are mine
If the stars lose their twinkle or the moon loses its glow, I’ll try my best to be the one I needed long ago If there’s one lesson I’d hold onto, this is it, my friends Before you ask where you should go, remember where you’ve been
Remember those days They will mean something the rest of your life Those were the days No matter how old i get, I’ll stay as young and bold as decades agoI Dont Want to Live on the Moon - Crusader! [Sesame Street Cover]Crusader!2022-07-15 | STREAM LINK BELOW! DOWNLOAD WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON
This is another cover I've always been aching to do. I get all feelsy every time I hear it. Hope you all enjoy. Special thanks to Einsamkeitus for the fantastic artwork. Also, the vector of my fursona was made by Brittney Ackerman.
Well, I'd like to visit the moon On a rocket ship high in the air Yes, I'd like to visit the moon But I don't think I'd like to live there Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above I would miss all the places and people I love So although I might like it for one afternoon I don't want to live on the moon
I'd like to travel under the sea I could meet all the fish everywhere Yes, I'd travel under the sea But I don't think I'd like to live there I might stay for a day there if I had my wish But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish And an oyster and clam aren't real family So I don't want to live in the sea [Bridge] I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar Go back in time and meet a dinosaur There's so many strange places I'd like to be But none of them permanently
So if I should visit the moon Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam and then I will make a wish on a star And I'll wish I was home once again Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above I would miss all the places and people I love So although I may go I'll be coming home soon 'Cause I don't want to live on the moon No, I don't want to live on the moonCaptains and Cruise Ships - Crusader!

I am stuck in L.A. through the week and can't get away And you're alone on the pier in West Palm Beach on your holiday Stormy nights re-awake the stomach ache That I've acquired from feeling down Things look grim and I'm so sick of being tired
Apartment lights go dark and it's depressing But what can I do? The midnight streets feel dead When I am so used to driving with you
Brighter lights fill the nights And bluer skies reflect in your eyes As I inspect and analyze All of these dreams I don't recognize If you're still up when the ships in the port prepare to set sail Comb the beach and put those blue flowers up in your ponytail [Chorus] Inside my head your voice is still resounding But what can I do? The empty rooms feel cold When I am so used to being with you
Count the stars, watch the waves, absorb the summer sun and think of me When you explore hidden coves and tiny island chains throughout the sea Can you still hear my voice When I'm outside, from over the phone? For what it's worth, darling dear I wish you were here, 'cause I feel alone
When you were home, we'd sing But since you've left I don't hear anything And though I feel so sad I can't believe things are really that bad
Old captains and brand new cruise ships Sailing over the briny sea When I crashed my beloved desk job And swim through the debris I'll cut loose and leave this mad house Bound for the Atlantic blue I'll stroll down your tree-lined driveway And sail the ocean with youCrusader! Plays - Fallout New Vegas and Quake IIICrusader!2022-06-17 | Today will be Fallout: New Vegas and Quake III.
I've been an Owl city fan since high school and always thought a ukulele centric version of this song would be fun. Hope you all enjoy! Streaming and download will be available soon, so please B E A R with me ;3 Special thanks to Fanatic Panda for the lovely artwork.
[Intro] High rise, veins of the avenue Bright eyes and subtle variations of blue Everywhere is balanced there Like a rainbow above you Street lights glisten on the boulevard And cold nights make staying alert so hard For heaven's sake, keep me awake So I won't be caught off guard Clearly, I am a passerby But I'll find a place to stay Dear pacific day, won't you take me away?
[Verse 1] Small town, hearts of the New Year Brought down by gravity, crystal clear City fog and brave dialogue converge on the frontier Make haste, I feel your heartbeat With new taste for speed out on the street Find a road to a humble abode where both of our routes meet The silver sound is all around and the colors fall like snow The feeling of letting go, I guess we'll never know
[Chorus] Cheer up and dry your damp eyes, and tell me when it rains And I'll blend up that rainbow above you and shoot it through your veins 'Cause your heart has a lack of colour and we should've known That we'd grow up sooner or later, 'cause we wasted all our free time alone
[Verse 2] Your nerves gather with the altitude Exhale the stress so you don't come unglued Somewhere there is a happy affair A ghost of a good mood Wide eyed, panic on the getaway The high tide could take me so far away VCR's and motorcars unite on the Seventh Day A popular gauge will measure the rage of the new Post-Modern Age 'Cause somewhere along the line all the decades align We were the crashing whitecaps On the ocean And what lovely sea-side holiday, away A palm tree in Christmas lights My emotion Struck a sparkling tone like a xylophone As we spent the day alone
[Chorus] Cheer up and dry your damp eyes, and tell me when it rains And I'll blend up that rainbow above you and shoot it through your veins 'Cause your heart has a lack of colour and we should've known That we'd grow up sooner or later, 'cause we wasted all our free time aloneCrusader! plays some gamesCrusader!2022-06-14 | Just hanging out and playing some games now that I'm getting back in the swing of things. I'll be playing Lumbearjack, Super Animal Royale, and then Bear's Restaurant. Follow my twitter below
Country doesn’t seem to have the best reputation these days, but I think if you look hard enough, you can find some pretty good stuff. I’ve always loved this song by Russel Dickerson and it always brings back some memories. Hope you all enjoy! Special thanks to Captain Showtime for the artwork.
Blue Tacoma, California Rays of gold are shining on ya Blue Tacoma, California Rays of gold are shining on ya
Wheels rolling on an old Toyota Twist top on a Sunkist soda Your brown hair in the west coast wind If heaven is anywhere Nineties hits at the top of our lungs Shuffle landed on "Still the One" Missing turns cause that's our song If heaven is anywhere
It's in a blue Tacoma, California White magnolia in your hair Rays of gold are shining on ya Oooh, if heaven is anywhere It's never running out of golden road Always having your hand to hold In a blue Tacoma, California Oooh, if heaven is anywhere It's right here
Blue Tacoma, California Rays of gold are shining on ya
Red sun melting to the black top Dollar shades from a nowhere truck stop Your kiss and that coast line If heaven is anywhere Pull it over to the shoulder To take it in and pull you closer Loving you longer than I ever did Going places we never been Cause heaven's in
A blue Tacoma, California White magnolia in your hair Rays of gold are shining on ya Oooh, if heaven is anywhere It's never running out of golden road Always having your hand to hold In a blue Tacoma, California Oooh, if heaven is anywhere It's right here
Blue Tacoma, California Rays of gold are shining on ya
Oooh, if heaven is anywhere
It's in a blue Tacoma, California White magnolia in your hair Rays of gold are shining on ya Oooh, if heaven is anywhere It's never running out of golden road Always having your hand to hold In a blue Tacoma, California Oooh, if heaven is anywhere It's right here
Blue Tacoma, California It's right here, Woah oh woah Rays of gold are shining on ya It's right here, woah woah
Oooh, if heaven is anywhereMango Sorbet - Crusader! [ORIGINAL SONG]Crusader!2021-12-18 | DOWNLOAD, STREAM LINK, AND LYRICS BELOW
Just a simple beachy track inspired by a trip to Hawaii I took earlier this year. I also wanted to make something fairly eurodance inspired...and if you know me, you know it's hard for me to put down my uke. Hope you all enjoy!

Oh, As I’m Playing to the rhythm of the crashing waves, looks like the sun wanted a show and pushed the clouds out the way Hello!
The palms are rustling from side to side There’s The sweetest shade of candy blue all over the sky So good!
Nothing but good vibes from here and past the tides And the only one I’d want to share this with by my side Brighter than the sunshine on any summer day With kisses sweet and smooth as mango sorbet
You make this paradise a better stay With kisses sweet and smooth as mango sorbet
Sweet And smooth as mango sorbet
New shades and brand new swimsuit Shaved ice and the sweetest of fruit Music that we can strut to all through the day and night
Syncopated rhythms that get you to light up and make you shake it too This place makes you drop your baggage and say “hey, we’ll be alright”
When the sunset comes, I’ll hold you close And for a little we can take it slow Feel the cool sand on our feet as we say “wow, what a day”
We’ll hear the music from a mile away I’ll ask for one more dance and then we’ll sway The way you move being sweet and smooth as good mango sorbet
