Lyrics from Carolyn

I heard someone was looking for the lyrics to the "Resort Sandpipers" that Lou and Elma sang for the Gong Show.

Here they are, if you would like to post them:
**************************888


On the dark Texas highway, cold beer in my hand
Loud gunshots ringing, rising up through the air
Up ahead are the shanties, graffiti and all
My heart grew weary and my sight grew dim
I almost stopped out of fright!
Maria stood in the driveway
I heard the Petanque bell
And I was thinking to myself,
“This could be Progresso, but what the hell!”
Then Jay lit up his goftcart and he showed me the way
There were voices down the 400 row,
I thought I heard them say...

“Welcome to the Resort Sandpipers
Such a party place (Such a crazy place)
Such a happy place
Plenty of drinking at the Resort Sandpipers
Any time of day (Any time of year)
You can find it here.”

Richie is definitely twisted, he's got too many hats
There's Bobs, Bills, Johns and Jims, all called friends
Roy's music plays in Pizzazz, after sunset.
Some come to remember, but good luck with that!

Randy called up his Captain,
Sue, "bring me my wine"
She said, "We haven't had that spirit here since yesterday morning at nine"
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of your nap
Just to hear them say...

“Welcome to the Resort Sandpipers
Such a party place (Such a crazy place)
Such a happy place
We're livin' it up at the Resort Sandpipers
What a nice find (what a nice find)
Leave your clothes behind.”

People on the ball courts,      
The burgers ready to grill                        
And we play nude Olympics here, of our own free will
And at the super happy hour,
They gathered for the feast
They come with plastic forks and knives
But they must get in line 'first'!

Last thing I remember, Charlie
was behind the bar
I had too many tequila shots 
Forgot the place I was before
"Goodnight” said Mrs. Calabash
"We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you won't want to leave! "

Take care,
Carolyn
