"Tahitian Gardens" lyrics

You leave Canoga on a Bamboo trail
Set sail for the lobby where the natives check their mail
There's starfish glued to nets that are nailed to the wall
Plastic flowers everywhere, and tikis in the hall

Tahitian Gardens
That's where we live
Tahitian Paradise
That's what this Is

There are no luaus, and there's no suckling pigs
But there's plenty of natives, and all of their kids
No black sand beaches and (there's) no blue lagoons
But they're out there in their muumuus
They're out there in their thongs

Tahitian Gardens
That's where we are
Tahitian Paradise
Ain't it Shangri La

I've traveled the world
And the seven seas
I've never seen a garden that compares to these
But if you're stuck without a rudder, cast into the breeze
There's thousands of em here, they're like a Tropical Disease
Tropical Disease, Tropical Disease

He's the big Kahuna
And it's his Coconut
If you're three days late
He'll burn down your hut
There's a stagnant pond above every native's drain
He only likes good natives
Good natives don't complain

Tahitian Gardens
That's where we live
Tahitian Paradise
That's what this is

Tahitian Gardens
You'll find us here
Tahitian Paradise
At least for a year

Tahitian Gardens
That's where we are
Tahitian Paradise
Ain't it Shangri La
Ain't it Shangri La
Ain't it Shangri La...
