lyrics

If you're lost at sea
And that summer breeze just ain't blowing
Well keep rowing
Cuz I'm floating on out your way

And I'm no maître d'
But I'll make sure there's a little tea in the kettle
While you settle
Your weary head down for the day
What more can I say?

Baby life's a mess but this mess is short
So let's drown our pain in Minute Maid and call it a sport
And when your back needs scratching, well I solemnly swear
That I'll grab the rake and I'll be right there

And if she caught your eye
But your pickup lines are a little blurry
Well don't worry
Cuz I could be your wingman too

But if you call me from jail
Cuz you thought that girl's tattoo was in braille
Hell no, brother shame on you
But I can pick you up when your time is through

Baby life's a mess but this mess is short
So let's drown our pain in Minute Maid and call it a sport
And when your back needs scratching, well I solemnly swear
That I'll grab the rake and I'll be right there

May your khaki's all be stylish
And your coffee always Irish
Darling when you close your eyelids,
You got a friend nearby

Baby life's a mess but this mess is short
So let's drown our pain in Minute Maid and call it a sport
And if your back needs scratching, well I solemnly swear
That Imma grab a rake and I'll be right,
Yes I'll grab a rake and I'll be right,
Well I'll grab the rake and be right there
