Mr Skiffington, Honolulu Baby

[Verse 1] Mr. Skiffington, a man of means, Traded gray suits for island scenes. Left the city's ceaseless drone, For a world where the sun always shone. He packed his bags, a single plea, "Take me to where the wild things be." [Chorus] Skiffington, Skiffington, off he goes, Trade the tie for a pair of toes in the sand. Skiffington, Skiffington, whole new road, Sun on his back and a tan on his hands. [Verse 2] Landed in Honolulu's bright embrace, A smile slowly spread across his face. Palm trees swayed, a gentle breeze, He felt a sudden, sweet release. The ocean called, a sapphire hue, A brand new life, fresh and new. [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] He tried surfing, fell with a splash, Laughed so hard, forgot his cash. Learned to hula, hips a bit stiff, But the locals cheered, a joyful riff. A pineapple smoothie, sweet and cold, Stories of his past, bravely told. [Chorus 2] Skiffington, Skiffington, look at him go, No more boardroom grind and the same old script. Skiffington, Skiffington, let it show, He came in a suit and left in a flip. [Verse 4] The office emails, now a distant blur, No more deadlines, no more stir. He wore a lei, a vibrant crown, Explored each village, up and down. Found a ukulele, strummed a tune, Underneath the tropic moon. [Instrumental Break] [Verse 5] Mr. Skiffington, no longer prim, Embraced the island, limb by limb. His worries melted, like ice in the sun, His Hawaiian journey had just begun. A happy man, beneath the sky, He'd found his paradise, by and by. [Chorus 3] Skiffington, Skiffington, staying put, By the open water, with nowhere to rush. Skiffington, Skiffington, root and cut, Old life behind him, new life in the hush.
