Met a man, sailor man
With an island tan, down in Mexico
Sitting there, fish are everywhere
Biggest one this year, couldn't let 'em go
I said Hey man, what's your secret?
He said I'll tell you if you'll say you'll keep it
You can throw out a line but you can't make 'em bite
You can drop a line in your Corona Light
But you can't drink all day
If you don't start in the morning
Get to sipping on the dock of the bay
Just watching that tide roll in
Life's sweeter than a margarita
So you better get to pourin'
Cause you can't drink all day
If you don't start in the morning
Oh, start in the morning
Yeah you can build you a big ole castle in the sand
Do a back flip of a catamaran
You can bust your ass for a couple hundred grand
But that ain't gonna make you rich
You can get you a hammock
You can swing on
Between two palm trees
Senorita, you can lean on is all you need
But you can't drink all day
If you don't start in the morning
Get to sipping on the dock of the bay
Just watching that tide roll in
Life's sweeter than a margarita
So you better get to pourin'
Cause you can't drink all day
If you don't start in the morning
Oh, start in the morning
The glass is half full the way I see it
Drink, it's on the house
You can take it or leave it
Or pour it out
But you can't drink all day
If you don't start in the morning
Get to sipping on the dock of the bay
Just watching that tide roll in
Life's sweeter than a margarita
So you better get to pourin'
Cause you can't drink all day
If you don't start in the morning
Oh, start in the morning
Yeah, you gotta start in the morning
Yeah, we're gonna start in the morning
