Somebody asked me if they thought I could be Happy living all my days down in Belize And I thought, "Why not? I always like it hot" So I started listing reasons why I like it there Sunny days of fishing in the salty air And the stars at night There ain't no ambient light The good life gives you what you need And I believe happiness counts a lot They say, "Successful men get what they want Happy men want just what they got" And the good life for me comes naturally down in belize Yeah, the island where we live is small and intertwined They got their own pace, they call it island Time When they say right away, they just may not mean today They say, "What's your hurry, man? Don't worry Don't you know San Pedro days go slow?" The island life will get you Pretty soon it sets you down into a slower mode That's when all your tensions go I say the mode of dress is flip-flops and an old T-shirt Cut-offs, straw hat, sunglasses won't hurt 'Cause it's a sunny day I always like it that way People are all friendly, oh, they love themselves When they get into trouble, they help each other out It's the Christian way I always like it that way Yeah, the good life gives you what you need And I believe happiness counts a lot Successful men get what they want Happy men want just what they got And the good life for me comes naturally down in Belize Doo-doo, doo, doo-doo Doo-doo, doo, doo-doo Doo-doo, doo, doo-doo Doo-doo, doo-doo
