Story Behind The Song
My wife and I were swimming in a hotel pool one day when a 70+ year old man walked by wearing a tiny black Speedo thong. I said, "Damn, that guy's way over the Speedo limit!" and my wife said, "Damn, write that down!"

Lyrics
The Speedo Limit
Verse I
Me and my mister on Manchebo Beach
Two cold Coronas within our reach
This older gentleman went walkin? by
And neither one of us could believe our eyes
I said, excuse me sir, but it?s just plain wrong
For a man your age to wear a little black thong
Chorus
You?re way over the speedo limit
Nobody here wants to see what?s in it
Cover up, it?ll only take a minute
?Cause you?re way over the speedo limit
The speedo limit
The speedo limit
Verse II
Then this woman walkin? by his side
Looked right at me and smiled this wide
She said honey you sure got that right
Told him a hundred times it ain?t a pretty sight
She said, listen to me darlin?, let?s go back to our room
?Cause this island isn?t big enough for two full moons
Chorus (repeat)
Bridge (instrumental)
