lyrics

Waikiki

Four in the morning
TV's on
she's scratching her head and putting coffee on.
She's going all out for the 7 to 3.
Saving for a house in Waikiki.

She don't cuss
she don't cry
she makes good money in her golden prime.
Golden prime
golden prime
she makes good money in her golden prime.

Well she meets a man at the karaoke bar
he's got fine clothes and a fancy car
he moves in with her, loses his job
she's fallen in love with the golden slob.

Golden slob
Golden slob
he promises payback when he's back on top.
Back on top
back on top
someday golden slob is gonna be back on top.

She loses sleep and she starts to fade
her boss starts to heckle all the plans she made.
"You know your slob ain't gonna live for free.
How you ever gonna get to Waikiki?"

Waikiki?
Waikiki?
Seems to be a question that's worrying me.
Worrying me
Worrying me
I'm wondering how I'll ever get to Waikiki.

Well she worked real hard for three months or so
stole his car when he wasn't home
sold it for a ticket and spending spree
by the time he came home she was in Waikiki.

Waikiki
Waikiki
with the world at her feet in Waikiki
world at her feet
world at her feet
she finally made her way back to Waikiki.

Moral of the story is you've got to work
if you got dreams not to lose your shirt.
Put your heart aside if they're holding you back.
Kick them to the curb
get back on track.

Back on track
Back on track
Kick them to the curb and get back on track.
Waikiki
Waikiki
if you want a little spread out in Waikiki.
