Lyrics
Verse 1
Well, I walked into Sloppy Joe?s
Anybody that?s ever been there knows
The only thing to do there and that is drink.
So, I had 12 beers and two tequillas
I copped a feel from a girl named Sheila.
The guitar player began to sing a song.
Chorus
He said, Clap your hands.
Stomp your feet.
Yell, ?Hell Ya?!
Keep the beat.
He said, Clap your hands.
That?s the way.
It?s a certified, blue sky,
Key West Holiday.
Verse 2
Well, I made it to The Hog?s Breath
A little more than a crawl.
Found me an open table
Read the writin? on the wall.
At the bar was a pirate dressed in drag
The problem is he didn?t look half-bad.
That bartender began to sing this song.
Chorus
He said, Clap your hands.
Stomp your feet.
Yell, ?Hell Ya?!
Keep the beat.
He said, Clap your hands.
That?s the way.
It?s a certified, blue sky,
Stir fried, sun dried,
Knee bendin?, sun settin?,
Key West Holiday.
Verse 3
Well, I got tossed out onto Duvall
Just about then, I hit a wall.
I woke up in different kind of bar.
Well, The guy next me said, ?you?re in jail?.
Your buddy came by but he did?nt post bail.
To my surprise he began to sing this song.
