O

Foe the third year in a row I'm missing Oasis as I'm sure many of you are too. This may help.
Sung to the tune of Carolina by James Taylor.

In my mind Im goin to Tiki Oasis

In my mind Im goin to Tiki Oasis
Cant you see the sunshine
Cant you just feel the moonshine
Maybe just like a friend of mine
It hit me from behind
Yes Im goin to Tiki Oasis in my mind
Otto he drinks a silver rum
You best walk his way and watch his
Watch him watch the mornin come
A silver tear appearing now Im cryin
Aint I goin to Tiki Oasis in my mind

There aint no doubt it no ones mind
That Tiki the finest thing around
Whisper something warm and kind
And hey babe the skys on fire, Im dyin
Aint I goin to Tiki Oasis in my mind

In my mind Im goin to Tiki Oasis
Cant you see the sunshine
Cant you just feel the moonshine
Maybe just like a friend of mine
It hit me from behind
Yes Im goin to Tiki Oasis in my mind

Dark and silent last night
I think I might have heard the highway calling
Demerrara rum awithfriends to share
Signs that might be omens say I going, going
Im goin to Tiki Oasis in my mind

With a holy host of Tiki standing round me
Still Im on the dark side of the moon
And it seems like it goes on like this forever
You must forgive me
If Im up and gone to Tiki Oasis in my mind

In my mind Im goin to Tiki Oasis
Cant you see the sunshine
Cant you just feel the moonshine
Maybe just like a friend of mine
It hit me from behind
Yes Im goin to Tiki Oasis in my mind

To the tune of "Row, Row, Your Boat":

Drink, drink, drink your rum
Any way you please.
Tiki events are so cool
You'll never want to leave.

I do wish I was there.

No, you really don't. Hang on to your clip.

This implies that you were there in 2006 and earlier. Is that correct?

Awesome video!! I love the performance art aspect of the carving on stage with the band playing. Very cool!

(To the tune of Alan Jackson's 'It's Five O'Clock, Somewhere'. Sung in a fantasy live performance by Limbo Lizard, with a special guest appearance by..., well, you'll see.)

It's Oasis, Somewhere

Seems like everyone was having fun out in Californ',
Except for me.
Checking out new mugs, and drinking slugs of that new rum,
Eurydice.
They were drunk and laughing, buying paintings and carvings.
When it comes to 'tiki', here in Texas, we're starving.
I envy those West Coast bastards -
Hope I make it, next year.

Damn, I missed Tee Oh - Oh Nine
Guess I'll just have to find some tiki in my mind.
They say that it's too late, now,
But I could swear,
It's Oasis, somewhere.

Crazy stories and faces from Tiki Oasis are showing up
On the Internet.
Should have saved my money for me and Honey to buy tickets there.
Now there's just regret.
I seek consolation from my bottles of rum,
After 3 or 4 Mai Tais, I'll start to feel numb.
I'll drift off to Tiki Oasis, in my mind.

I missed the San Diego fun,
I didn't have the cash to make it to the bash.
Now that it's too late,
I try not to despair.
It's Oasis, somewhere.

(instrumental break)
Then, as I sip my sixth drink, I start to re-think:
Is having tiki regrets just for fools?
At a moment like this, I can't help but wonder,...
What would Woofie Muffett dooo?

(Woofmutt saunters up)
Funny you should ask, Lizard, because I'd say:

Forget those California prigs,
They take this tiki thing to an insane extreme.
As for me, I think
I'm gonna just have a beer.

Yes, we missed another year.
We saved a lot of funds,
We'll spend it all on rum.
They say that it was great,
Yeah, well, we don't care.
Woofie don't care,
And I don't care,
We'll skip Oasis, NEXT year.
