Communists on the Water
words and music by Roy Williams
© 2011
Looked out at the sea one day, saw something strange sailing my way
Looked like a fleet of little boats
I said Bobby quick come see, tell me have gone crazy
but i think they're getting a little close
It was mostly rafts and a few old ramshackle crafts
We could hear their laughing and singing from the coast
Chorus
And There's communists on the water, the party just got a hotter
They say What's yours is mine, so let's put it all together and have a good time
They say What's mine is yours, welcome from our friendly shores
Looks like there's communists on the water
About 90 miles south of here, the sand is white and the water is clear
The girls MMMMMMMMM they are all golden tan
They been rockin that party since 59, Cuba Libre's make a really good time
And They got themselves that cee-gar smoking man
Ain't got no rich ain't got no poor, don't need no possessions no more
It's a real party for the common man
Chorus
Bridge
We drank rum and a sang all day,
Had the finest smoke I gotta say
Bobby fell in love a couple times
Those Comrade senoritas are really fine
I think I got in-doc-trin-ated
Certainly I got in-tox-i-cated
With those communists on the water
I woke up they were sailing away, wasn't much left that I could say
Except adios.......mis Comrades
I look south across the sea today, especially on the fist of May
and I smile at the fun we had
Chorus
With those communists across the water, where the party is hotter
They say What's yours is mine, so let's put it all together and have a good time
They say What's mine is yours, welcome to our friendly shores
I sure miss, those communists, across the water
Roy My Man, that song is way cool! Somehow you managed to sound a whole lot like Jimmy Buffett and nothing like Jimmy Buffett in the same song. Like Eric, I grew up in Miami, although a little earlier in time :) . . . . and I remember the many 'invasions' very well. As a result, this song really resonated with me. Very well done!
