Aloha
You know? Some people ask me
"Hey, Jimmy, where do you come up with those ideas for some of those songs?"
Well, this particular song got its initial inspiration
From a visit to the Tonga Room
In the beautiful Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco
For those of you who might be geographically impaired
San Francisco is in California, the gateway to the Pacific
And if you look out the cross, the Golden Gate Bridge
To those beautiful and tranquil waters
You can imagine that in the thousands of islands
That dot the surface of the Pacific, from California to Hong Kong
Somewhere out there, there are still bands who play music like this
And just can't stop
Oh no, he's buying an island
Oh no, he's building a boat
Why does he never stop smiling?
Fun surrounds him like a deep moat
Where does he get all those stories?
How can he tell such a lie?
He's bound to see purgatory
His views are in short supply
But Peter Pan would understand
His schemes and dreams and ploys
Best keep an eye on his slight hand
He's such an altered boy
Good God, he's talking with parrots
Painting his dreams in the sand
Piling up beaucoup demerits
Doing it just 'cause he can
By Jove, he's having a cocoa
Evading those judgmental eyes
Calmly just walking his tight rope
High above all their outcries
But Peter Pan would understand
His dreams, and schemes, and ploys
Best keep an eye on his slight hand
He's such an altered boy
The story goes
He stumbled at the altar
Now it seems he just blasphemes
And dwells with danger's daughter
Someone call the talking doctor
Somebody get a SWAT team
There he sits, just getting away with murder
How dare him live out his dreams
But Peter Pan would understand
His dreams, and schemes, and ploys
Best keep an eye on his slight hand
He's such an altered boy
Oh no, he's sailing today
Oh no, beware Paraguay
Oh no, anchors aweigh (bye, boys)
Oh no, no
Ah, excuse me, waiter
You think I could have another one of those Singapore slings
Mohalo
Oh no, anchors aweigh
They just can't s-
