Champagne Si, Agua No

by Jimmy Buffett

from the album Don’t Stop the Carnival

Lyrics

Folks, Gull Reef regrets the water shortage
Wild night out there
Water in the sea
Water from the sky
No water in the Club,
But while the pump gets repaired, let’s live!
If the water can’t flow, the wine can!
Champagne party in the lobby!

Champagne si, aqua no
Let it rain, let it blow
To hell with the H2O
Champagne si, aqua no

The Gull Reef Club’s not too ship shape
Time for a party time for a break
Tonight all our troubles will soon disappear
Cause champagne is cheaper than water down here

Champagne si, aqua no
Champagne si, aqua no

A toast to the French who gave us these bubbles
A toast to your host who stands in this rubble
Running this hotel is no piece of cake
So cut me some slack people give me a break
Champagne si, aqua no
Champagne si, aqua no

A toast to Columbus, Arawaks and Caribs
To pirates and patriots, rascals and thieves
The limbo, the cha cha and what we love most
A free champagne party put on by our host

Champagne si, aqua no
Champagne si, aqua no
