Wastin away again at Island Bar and Grill
Don't even have those tiki shakers of salt
Californians exclaim that it's just not the same
Maybe so, but it's all that we got

Actually, I didn't want to mention it, but my company was hired to do the jingle for the new Trader Vic's. This was the song I wrote that was eventually chosen.

Sung to the tune of "Kokomo" by the Beach Boys:

*Hey, come with me and chill
At Trader Vic's new Island Grill
If you buy the extra-large mai-tai,
You get a free refill

I like to drink my rum,
Near the West Indies, where it comes from
The South Sea rhythms of a steel drum,
Make me wanna hum...

Hawaii, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To Bermuda, Tahiti these ribs are pretty meaty
Key West, Sarasota, let's take my new Toyota,

Down to Trader Vic's
A Navy Grog and Mozzarella Sticks
That's how I get my fix
Way down at Trader Vic's.

After a couple beers,
The french fries start to look like native spears
And that surfboard on the wall will be revealed
To be an Asmat Shield

Cowabunga, Dude!
I like this old-skool Island food
A blooming onion and a Kava Bowl
Will satisfy my soul
Yeah I can't wait to go...

Aruba, Samoa ooo I wanna show ya
Bahama, New Guinea, You couldn't call me skinny
Hakuna Matata, come on pretty daughter

Ooo I wanna take you down to Trader Vics
We'll eat some sliders
And then we'll score some chicks
That's where I get my kicks
Way down at Trader Vic's*
