Twas the night before Buffett

Post by Beach Bob »

For all those Nissan phans that aren't at the hotels yet:

T’was the night before Buffett, and all through the tiki hut
I was running around crazy trying to find my plastic fake butt.
The grass skirts were laid out right next to the beer
With the thought that Buffett would soon be here.

All the Parrotheads were sleeping, catching some winks
With visions of margaritas and frozen Boat Drinks.
With Mom in her coconut bra and I in my lei,
Just couldn’t sleep cause we’ll see Jimmy in one more day.

When all of sudden the whole house shook
I jumped out of my hammock to go take a look.
I ran to window to see what it could be
Knocked over the cooler and the inflatable palm tree.


When, what did appear to my half hung-over peepers,
Was the Hemisphere Dancer and 13 Coral Reefers.
In the cockpit an ole little tan pilot did sit,
I knew right away it had to be Buffett.
They came out the plane with tequila in hand;
there was Utley, and Robert, the whole Reefer band.

“We got lost on our way to the Nissan show,”
“ Can you give us directions on which way we should go.
One too many kosher pickles, and too much cold draft beer,
Makes this plane really hard to steer.
That’s no problem Jimmy I can get you there,
How about some drinks, after all it’s 5o’clock Somewhere.

We grilled burgers and shrimp till the band had its fill
I told him, “Your were supposed to make a left not a right at Margaritaville.

He said come on reefers, we can’t be late,
You too big Mac, you crazy Fruitcake.

They climbed in the plane while doing the limbo,
“Now I know, where we’re gonna go (when the Volcano Blows)…couldn’t help myselfJ :D

I could hear Bubba say as the Dancer took off out of sight,
Fins the left, and Fins to the right.

That's awesome - you should send it in to Margaritaville!
It was a pleasure and a hell of an evening
Truly was our night to win
But the authorities insist on my leaving
Take care my American friend

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. It was something I put together this morning. I've been sending small emails to rest of my friends to get them ready for Sat. This was the last one. I think I will send it in the Margaritaville.com. That would be neat to see it on there. Who knows? Just something fun to do a get the excitement going.

Great!

It is helping build my suspense. I just realized that I put more effort into this concert/tailgate than i do for most major holidays (i.e. Christmas).

On a sad note, the tarp we got for tailgating came one pole short and my grill was disgustingly moldy. Off to get another.
