Loudon Wainwright III
Florida (Lucky You)
You got the surf and the sand, you got the sun
Bring the whole damn family down here for vacation fun
The state is the shape of a big ol' hand gun
Lucky you, there is the lottery here waiting to be won
In Florida (lucky you)
Florida (lucky you)
Florida, Florida, Florida
Ponce de Leon was searching there for that fountain of youth
Old folks go to die there when they're long in the tooth
Snowbirds choose to fly down if they live in Duluth
They're all livin' a lie down there, now ain't it the truth
In Florida (lucky you)
Florida (lucky them)
Florida, Florida, Florida
Crabs and sharks and jellyfish lay in wait for you
If you step on a fire ant you better be wearin' a shoe
A gator's gonna grab your ass and chomp that thing in two, now
And don't get stung by a stingray, boy, whatever else you do
In Florida (lucky you)
Florida (lucky you)
Florida, Florida
Spanish and the French and the English all were here
But Uncle Sam's been rulin' this roost a few hundred years now
The black folks and the Seminole's were made to disappear
Now they're all welcome back at Disney World, they come from far and near
To Florida
Florida (lMickey Mouse)
Florida, Florida
In the lower right hand corner of the good old USA
With Guantanamo, Fidel Castro ninety miles away
Just a few famous Floridians would be Faye Dunaway
Stepin Fetchit and Jim Morrison, Sidney Poitier
Spell Florida
Florida (betcha didn't know that)
Florida (lucky Sid!) Florida, Florida
Hurricanes and black bean soup, don't forget key lime pie
Hialeah or the greyhound track, how's about some jai alai?
You just might get lucky but you won't know till you try
So pick those lucky number, be a lucky gal or guy
In Florida (lucky gal)
Florida (lucky guy)
Florida (lucky you)
Florida, Florida
