Lyrics
Verse I
I met him in Hawaii
On the Maui Island sands
And like those tiny golden grains
He slipped right through my hands.
Now ain't this just a woman's luck
He took me for Five thousand bucks
I thought he was a handsome, wealthy man
Verse II
We ate at every gourmet bar
Hit all the grand hotels.
We traveled in my rental car
While he sang "Pearly Shells"
My dollar bills slipped through the cracks
When I got home my cards were maxed
I never should have let it go that far.
CHORUS
Under the sun at the beach
A rich man I sought
And he's the son of the beach
Whose story I bought
I never thought I'd be so dumb
Be even half that dense
Still he's the son of the beach
Excuse my French
INSTRUMENTAL
Verse III
The next time when I date a man
I'll hold on to my cash
Cause after all I'm lookin' for
A guy with bucks and class
I tell my girlfriends don't give up
We'll find one yet with any luck
But that Maui Island guy can kiss my-----
CHORUS
