I felt like I was in Hawaii or some other exotic location just listening to this song. The steel drums and the simple beat made this song so great to listen to. The energy in his vocals, the slight swing in the guitars and the witty lyrics made the song so enjoyable.

When he walked the streets of old Mexico

While Blackbeard was fleecing around the hurricane season,

I ain't getting much done but 
E                  F#
I'm having fun sailing on the deep blue sea
