Lyrics
Yuletide by the Poolside
Words and Music by Jim Paquette © 2003
Verse:
I got my Rudolf tank top
I got my Yule log video
Got plastic Santa in the sun room
With a palm tree mistletoe
And a spray can full of snow
Chorus:
Celebrating Yuletide by the poolside
Down in South Florida this year
Where the only white you see -Is on the heads of retirees
Celebrating Yuletide by the poolside
Verse:
I got a floating manger
It says ?Feliz Navidad?
It?s hard to tell by tis? the season
For walking barefoot in the sand
Singing ?Winter Wonderland?
Chorus:
Celebrating Yuletide by the poolside
Down in South Florida this year
Where the blouses are see through
And the neighbors are Hebrew
Celebrating Yuletide by the poolside
