I met a man, sailor man, with an island tan down in Mexico
Sitting there, fish are everywhere, biggest one this year, couldn't let him go
I said, hey man, what's your secret? He said, I'll tell you if you say you'll keep it
You can throw out a lime, but you can't make him bite
You can drop a lime in your Corona light
But you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning
And get to sippin' on the dock of the bay, just watchin' that tide roll in
Yeah, life's sweeter than a margarita, so you better get to pourin'
Cause you can't drink all day
If you don't start in the morning
Oh, start in the morning
Yeah, you can build you a big ol' castle in the sand
Do a backflip off a catamaran
You can bust your ass for a couple hundred grand
But that ain't gonna make you rich
You can get you a hammock
You can get you a hammock
You can swing on between two palm trees
Senorita, you can lean on's all you need
But you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning
And get to sippin' on the dock of the bay, just watchin' that tide roll in
Yeah, life's sweeter than a margarita, so you better get to pourin'
Cause you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning
Oh, start in the morning
Oh, start in the morning
The glass is half full the way I see it
Drink it, it's on the house
You can take it or leave it or pour it out
But you can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning
And get to sippin' on the dock of the bay Just watchin' that tide rollin'
Yeah, life's sweeter than a margarita So you better get to pourin'
Cause you can't drink all day If you don't start in the mornin'
Oh, start in the mornin' Yeah, you gotta start in the mornin'
Yeah, we gonna start in the mornin'
