Ride My Flamingo

[Verse 1]
I was floating by the tiki bar
Working on my tan
Pink bird underneath me
Cold beer in my hand
She was standing by the shoreline
Looking mighty fine
She said, "Boy, what are you riding?"
I said, "Come on, climb on mine"

[Chorus]
Come on and ride my flamingo
We can wobble where the warm winds blow
Hold on tight when the big waves roll
We might tip over, but that's half the show

Ride my flamingo
Big pink bird and nowhere to go
We'll float all day where the palm trees sway
Come ride my flamingo away

[Verse 2]
Now this bird ain't built for racing
And steering ain't its thing
One good gust from outta nowhere
And we're headed for Key West again
We spun around a pontoon boat
Knocked over Jimmy's drink
She said, "Are you sure you know what you're doing?"
I said, "Girl, what do you think?"

[Chorus]
Come on and ride my flamingo
We can wobble where the warm winds blow
Hold on tight when the big waves roll
We might tip over, but that's half the show

Ride my flamingo
Big pink bird and nowhere to go
We'll float all day where the palm trees sway
Come ride my flamingo away

[Verse 3]
Everybody on the beach was laughing
Taking pictures with their phones
Two grown fools on a plastic bird
Acting like we owned the coast
The lifeguard blew his whistle
Said, "You two bring that thing back in!"
But the tide had other plans for us
So we waved and cracked a grin

[Bridge]
It ain't a yacht
It ain't a ski
It's got one leg
And seats about three
No motor, no brakes
No captain's license needed
Just climb aboard
And try not to get seasick

[Breakdown]
Left wing!
Right wing!
Everybody lean!
Prettiest pink party boat
You've ever seen!

[Final Chorus]
Come on and ride my flamingo
We can wobble where the warm winds blow
Hold on tight when the big waves roll
If we fall off, well, nobody knows

Ride my flamingo
Sunset shining and the water down low
Got a cold drink waiting and all day to play
Come ride my flamingo away

Yeah, ride my flamingo
That big pink bird's ready to go
If anybody asks what happened today...

[Outro]
We rode that flamingo away
Yeah, baby...
Ride my flamingo.
