Lady In The Blue Mercedes

Johnny Duncan


It was a windy day down Malibu way
The California sun was shining
I was in no hurry sipping Bloody Mary’s
And I fell asleep by the ocean

Then a lovely lady in a blue Mercedes
Parked her car down by the sea
She stepped into the sand and took me by the hand
And we traveled away in my dreams

And we drank Pina Coladas down in Puerto Rico
We tangoed in Montego Bay
We sipped Champaign in the summer rain
On a warm Caribbean day

I put a pretty flower in her long black hair
Along the sands of Waikiki
And I left my heart in San Francisco
Where she first made love to me

Then I awoke to the sound of the tide coming in
And the sun was almost gone
I didn't want to wake from my beautiful dream
But I had to take it on home

Then somewhere in the evening came a heavenly voice
Saying thank you for a wonderful day
Then the beautiful lady in the blue Mercedes
Blew a kiss and drove away
