Jim Morris Premature Intoxication lyrics

The customs man said come on in
I see you've traveled far
I can't wait to hear you sing
And play that cool guitar
There's a lot of crazy folks down here
If you go running with the pack
Don't let the first night monster
Put that monkey on your back

I headed to the ferry
I didn't know just what he meant
And the passage to the island
Was precious time well spent
Cause we had a stash of cold Kalik
And some jugs of Goombay Smash
I met the first night monster
And he really kaliked my ass.

Chorus
Premature intoxication
Really put me on the spot
Oh mama, I've been falling down a lot
They picked me up and hosed me off
And I jumped back in the fray
They said, welcome to the island, mon
You have a hell of a stay

I hooked up with the drunken mob
For a midnight rendezvous
We wound up at the beach

Like most of the island parties do
Thank god that pretty dark-haired girl
Finally caught my eye
And distracted me from those
Naked people dancing by

Repeat Chorus

The old lady said slow down my friend
With all that beer and rum
Premature Intoxication
Is what you suffer from
That first night monster hides away
Then sneaks up smooth and slow
He'll bite you hard
And he won't let you go

When I woke up I was still alive
But I was feeling might sore
At 8:15 this bonefish guide
Was pounding on my door
He said your eyes are red and blue
With a sickly shade of green
I said I couldn't spot a bonefish
If it was big as a submarine

Repeat Chorus
