Nude Awakening

(Jim Hoehn)
Jim Hoehn

I was going insane, so I got on a plane,
Left the Midwest winter behind
The three-hour flight was just about right
And surprise! The plane was on time

I rented a Moped and got me a map,
Went off to explore the island
So picturesque, the road wasn't the best
But the beach was just one more mile and

    (Chorus)
    It was rude awakening, a nude awakening
    Everyone there was totally bare
    Their clothes they were forsakening
    their clothes they were forsakening
    
In total surprise, I averted my eyes
Maybe snuck a peak or two
The scenery was swell, I said 'Oh, what the hell,'
When in Rome do what the Romans do

So I casually peeled, believe me, no big deal
As I snuck from behind the trees
Like a palm tree so tall in a tropical squall
My coconuts swung in the breeze

    It was a rude awakening, a nude awakening
    Everyone there was totally bare
    It was unencumbered vacationing
    Unencumbered vacationing

As I started to fry and I figured out why
My imagination was tested
When there's nowhere to hide, how is sunscreen applied
Without getting yourself arrested?

As I pondered my choice, I heard a sweet little voice
Say, 'Excuse me is this spot taken?'
She was long and tall, I said, 'Not at all,'
Unless of course I'm mistaken

    It was a rude awakening, a nude awakening
    Everyone there was totally bare
    Including one I hoped to be makening,
    One I hoped to be makening

As we sat on the sand, I plotted and planned
But she ended my hopes of scoring
She said, 'I hate to be rude, but when you're totally nude
In short, your anatomy's boring

    It was a rude awakening, a nude awakening
    Everyone there was totally bare
    My ego it was deflatening
    That's not all that was deflatening

    It was a rude awakening, a nude awakening
    Everyone there was totally bare
    An island trip so heartbreakening
    It was a rude, nude awakening
