Lyrics

[Verse 1]

On a patch of sand where the warm wind blows

Not a TV set, not a radio

Just an old guitar when the sun sinks low

Down at the Lah De Dah

[Verse 2]

When the stars come out, it's the place to be

If you're all alone, needing company

It's a lover's bar where the fun is free

Down at the Lah De Dah

[Chorus]

Down at the Lah De Dah

There's a perfect margarita in a mason jar

At the end of the world, in a sea of dreams

Where the ocean smiles and the seagulls scream

We all know just how lucky we are

Down at the Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah

Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah

Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah

Down at the Lah De Dah

[Verse 3]

When you're back at work at your nine-to-five

And it's pourin' rain on your mornin' drive

You'll remember when you were last alive

Down at the Lah De Dah

[Chorus]

Down at the Lah De Dah

There's a perfect margarita in a mason jar

At the end of the world, in a sea of dreams

Where the ocean smiles and the seagulls scream

We all know just how lucky we are

Down at the Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah

Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah

Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah

Down at the Lah De Dah

Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah

Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah

Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah

Down at the Lah De Dah

[Verse 4]

When the band strikes up and the sun is down

The pirate king buys another round

And the rumors fly, mermaids are in town

Down at the Lah De Dah

[Outro]

Down at the Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah

Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah

Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah, Lah

Down at the Lah De Dah

Cha, cha, cha
