Life would be fine
If I never had to earn another dime
Making my mind up would be mindless to me

'Cause I'd be gay and carefree
Under my palmtree
A Calico girl with me

I'd shoot crap with the king
Play poker with the president
I'd need a nylon guitar (?)
The queen cooks for me
But what of my affair
The Cleopatra sheen was my Calico girl

But I'd be gay and carefree
Under my palmtree
A Calico girl with me

And we would sit beneath the pale moonlight
And serenade until our hearts' delight
My mind seek all our millions by my side
Just for you, all for you

So life would be fine
If I never had to earn another dime
Making my mind up would be mindless to me

Oh but it's just a daydream
I've nothing it seems
Except for this old jalopy
Oh but to be gay and carefree
Under my palmtree
A Calico girl with me
