Gringo In Belize

Lyrics

Dennis Wolf
 Well he came down on vacation, 'cause he liked the tropic sun
 Margaritas and the music, made it all seem fun
 He bought a piece of heaven on the Carribean seas
 He's a happy little camper in Belize
 He began to build a condo, but the labor cost was high
 His partner stole his money, that left him high and dry
 His land is still a mudhole, where you sink up to your knees
 And he's just another gringo in Belize
 Chorus:
 He's a planner, he's a dreamer, he's a sordid little schemer,
 Seems to think that money grows on trees
 He's a whiner, he's a loser, he's a pothead, he's a boozer,
 He's just another gringo in Belize
 Well he used to have a girlfriend that now he can't afford
 Since one of his investments got busted at the border
 He wasted all his money paying bribes and fines and fees
 And he's just another gringo in Belize
 Oh, he sold his motorcycle, somebody stole his boat
 They ran it on the reef and now the damn thing just won't float
 The only thing's that free is mud, mosquitoes and the breeze
 And he's just another gringo in Belize
 Chorus
 Now he'll drink a beer for breakfast, he'll chase it with rum punch
 He's smoking up his dinner, he's a snorting up his lunch
 He's been wasted on the mainland, now he's stoned out in the Cayes
 And he's just another gringo in Belize
 Chorus
 He's just another gringo in Belize
 Sounds like a pretty good goddamned life to me
