Jimmy Buffett's variation from "Live In Hawaii"... 2nd verse is about the hero of the TV series "Adventures In Paradise". Bought this off iTunes, and the track has a lot of intro on it, as it's being used for a jitterbug contest.

CHORUS

I was on a leave of absence
no resemblance to reality
I felt like a rocket launched from the wild blue yonder
by the boys down at Kennedy

checked into His Majesty's Court hotel
where the sign said "praise his name"
I was tired and alone, I didn't feel too well
but I don't think that he was to blame

CHORUS

Well, his name was captain Adam Troy
he sailed the Kon-Tiki
the captain's gone, but he won't be forgotten
nor his like will we ever see

There's a full moon over Honolulu Bay
There's a full moon in my mind
And my suntan dreams are so out of reach
And the strip malls are robbing me blind

CHORUS

A drink ain't no solution
You really can't hide your fear (? not 100% on this line)
if this tiki bar closes down tonight
I might just disappear

CHORUS TWICE
