Lyrics

Someday, if you ay
Take a trip to the Caribean Sea
You'll find the people there are a lot like you and me
Some live in cardboard, Cardboard Condos if I may
They sit on the beach and the waves take all their troubles away.

Cardboard Condos by the Sea
That is where I want to be

You know we hurry here and we hustle there
And sometimes we just don't get anywhere
And we may have a lot of things that we call nice
But they take two steps and they're in paradise

Cardboard condos by the sea
That is where I want to be

We live our lives running to and fro
Yeah, where we stop, nobody knows
What good does a man if he gains the whole world
And forfeits his soul

Someday, if I may, I'm going back to that Carribean Sea
You know the people there are not unlike you and me
Except we've got our houses and our cars and our craves
They've got the sand and the sea and the waves
