D                       A
I got a letter from a friend the other morning
D                           A
He say it's hot down in Montego Bay
D                           A
I got the point and now I think it's finally dawning
C      D              A
Yeah, yeah, I got to get away

I got to take myself a permanent vacation
The sky's the limit but my plane won't fly
My nose is clean and lordie don't need no sedation
Yeah, yeah, and that's the reason why

Chorus:
C                          G
I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
C                       G
I want a tan where the sun, it never shines
C                          G
I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
C                           G          B
You best believe it that I go to get away

I got a sister man she really got a pinhead
She think she kinky but she can't get straight
She say she livin' but I kinda think she's brain dead
Just excess baggage on a late night freight

Chorus

I got to take me on a permanent vacation
The girl's be cumming down in Cayman Brack
I got to hand it to a firm situation
Yeah, yeah, I got to cut me some slack

Chorus
