Lyrics

Had a week’s vacation
planned in the sand and sun
the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean

Got a condo on the beach
and our friends they brought a boat
but the storm clouds rolled on in
and the beach became a moat

Now we’re,
making the best of rainy days
this hurricane won’t blow
our good vibes away
we may not see the sun
but there’s enough beer for everyone
we’re making the best of rainy days

The weatherman said we should bail
but we got a freezer full of lobster tails
the power’s out
we got to eat them all
and sterilize this juice with alcohol

shutters up for our protection
freedom from an Internet connection
singing songs of love, loss and redemption
till the storm is done
drunken sing-along fun
like bums in the VIP section

Now we’re,
making the best of rainy days
this hurricane won’t blow
our good vibes away
we may not see the sun
but there’s enough weed for everyone
we’re making the best of rainy days

We got three strings on the guitar
a trombone player with a broken arm
16 kazoos all in the mix
a drum set played with pretzel sticks
no bartender
but a lot of rum
misery this would be for some
but we don’t fret
and we don’t run
there’s no work today
so today’s
the day
to waste away
and have fun

Now we’re,
making the best of rainy days
this hurricane won’t blow
these good vibes away
we may not see the sun
but there’s enough love for everyone
we’re making the best of rainy days
