Lyrics
We took a trip down to the islands, |And we got a little carried away.|We thought we’d unwind, and lost track of time, |and we woke up on Christmas Day||Now back home there gathered ’round the tree, |stayin’ warm by fire light|But as I look around, the sun’s beatin’ down, |and there aint a cloud in sight||And I thought Lord…|Let it snow ….somewhere else|We can still sing Jingle Bells.|With our toes stuck in the sand, and a pair of mojitos in our hand|Its a wonderful time of year, |when its 85 and the sky is clear.|So let it snow…somewhere else|Let it snow…somewhere else|Let it snow, just not here.||We’ll string lights on a palm tree, |pretend this beach chair is a sleigh|Build a snowman, out of sand, |and let the waves wash him away||Well back home there going door to door, |we’ll go caroling bar to bar.|And they can just ask Jimmy Buffett, |if they wanna know where we are.||Let it snow somewhere else|We can still sing Jingle Bells|With our toes stuck in the sand, and a pair of mojitos in our hand.|Its a wonderful time of year, |when its 85 and the sky is clear.|So let it snow…somewhere else|Let it snow—somewhere else|Let it snow, just not here.||Oh the weather outside is frightful….NOT!|Let it snow… somewhere else|We can still sing Jingle Bells|With our toes stuck in the sand, and a frozen margarita in our hand|Its a wonderful time of year, |when its 85 and the sky is clear.|So let it snow…somewhere else|Let it snow…somewhere else|Let it snow, just not here.||Let it snow…somewhere else|Let it snow…somewhere else|Let it snow, |Just not here.|
