Lyrics
We took a trip down to the islands
And we got a little carried away
We thought we’d unwind, and lost track of time
And we woke up on Christmas Day
Now back home there gathered ’round the tree
Stayin’ warm by fire light
But as I look around, the sun’s beatin’ down
And there ain’t a cloud in sight
And I thought Lord
Let it snow somewhere else
We can still sing Jingle Bells
With our toes stuck in the sand
And a pair of mojitos in our hand
It’s a wonderful time of year
When it’s 85 and the sky is clear
So let it snow (somewhere else)
Let it snow (somewhere else)
Let it snow, just not here
We’ll string lights on a palm tree
Pretend this beach chair is a sleigh
Build a snowman, out of sand
And let the waves wash him away
Well back home there going door to door
We’ll go carolling bar to bar
And they can just ask Jimmy Buffett
If they wanna know where we are
Let it snow somewhere else
We can still sing Jingle Bells
With our toes stuck in the sand
And a pair of mojitos in our hand
It’s a wonderful time of year
When its 85 and the sky is clear
So let it snow (somewhere else)
Let it snow (somewhere else)
Let it snow, just not here
Oh, the weather outside is frightful…Not!
Let it snow (somewhere else)
We can still sing Jingle Bells
With our toes stuck in the sand
And a frozen Margarita in our hand
Its a wonderful time of year
When its 85 and the sky is clear
So let it snow (somewhere else)
Let it snow (somewhere else)
Let it snow, just not here
Let it snow (somewhere else)
Let it snow (somewhere else)
Let it snow
Just not here
