lyrics

I used to work in the factory
Until one fateful day on ABC
I guessed some words and a simple phrase
And from that day on my life did change

I spend my time in paradise
I do it for a hefty price, but
It’s what I love and now I love my life
The salt and sea and breeze all day and night

Forget all your worries
Don’t worry, be happy
Be happy, no worries

I dip my toes into the sea
I roast like a rotisserie
On the beach and in the sun I lay
Until my skin looks like strawberry lemonade

My life used to be so hard
Now I live in a postcard
Everything’s so shiny and new
I don’t even have to think about you

Forget all your worries
Don’t worry, be happy
Be happy, no worries

Happiness is the sea breeze
A magazine under palm trees
Coconuts and strawberry margaritas
I wanna see ya in Belize
Or Aruba, Jamaica, or Miami
And Orlando, feet in the sand
The tambourine beat of the band
Palm fans and daiquiris
Be a family man, the American Dream
This could be you, win big and be happy
