Lyrics

The Yacht Club

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

My rock candy passion

Is bittersweet and onto the teeth

'Cause she would rather fall in chocolate

Than fall in love, especially with me

I stood under the waterfall

With a Kiwi pineapple parasol

A Cinderella dropped a crystal ball

And made a concrete cavern

A caterpillar concert hall

I wish that we could sail our sad days away forever

In deep blue seas of paper-mache

Let's dance in the moonlight

A barracuda chased our dog days away forever

Let's sink or swim 'til we fall in love

And dance in the moonlight

When we join the yacht club

I would rather go swimming with great white sharks

Than wade in romance

'Cause I can never find the courage

To ask her to dinner or even to dance

Let's dance in the moonlight

Don't sweat under your overcoat

'Cause my heart can't harbor this paddle boat

You'll hit the bottom of the highest note

And the chatty tree frogs

Will never wanna leave your throat

I wish that we could sail our sad days away forever

In deep blue seas of paper-mache

Let's dance in the moonlight

A barracuda chased our dog days away forever

Let's sink or swim 'til we fall in love

And dance in the moonlight

When we join the yacht club

Let go of the world you know

And plug in the party lights

Soak your cares in the solar flares

That light up these island nights

Orange eclipse, I can taste your lips

In the citrus afternoon

If you can fly, don't stop at the sky

'Cause there's footprints on the moon

It was you

I wish that we could sail our sad days away forever

In deep blue seas of paper-mache

Let's dance in the moonlight

A barracuda chased our dog days away forever

Let's sink or swim 'til we fall in love

And dance in the moonlight

When we join the yacht club

Let's dance in the moonlight

When we join the yacht club
