Tom: C
G F G F
Hoops with Fidel, we keep bouncing ideas
G F
And holding back tears of joy!
G F G F
Endless long dinners and glimmers of genius
G F
And endless dictation to tape!
[Chorus]
F
Communism on a beach
Em
It’s so peachy
Dm
I could take it home
C
And serve it up for my sweet
Dm Em
With cream
F
Communism on a beach
Em
If we could just bottle it
And send it ‘round the world
Dm
And everyone could revolutionize in
C Dm Em
Peace by piece
F
Congo and Bolivia
Em
Vietnam, Angola
Dm
Let’s all drink from the same bottle
C Dm Em
Of rum and smoke
F
Let’s bounce that beach ball ‘round the place
Em
Let’s bounce up a better human race
Dm
Now the whole world is a great big
C Dm Em
Bouncing ball of joy
[Verse]
G F G F
Hoops with Fidel, they get faster and faster
G F
And spell out disaster for me
G F
Hoops with Ernesto
G F
He runs hoops around me
G F
And drags me to fund his demise
[Chorus]
F
Communism on the beach
Em
You can just feel the heat
Dm
That’s coming down on me
C Dm Em
From every side and point of view right now
F
Communism on the beach
Em
If we could just bottle it
And send it ‘round the world
Dm
And everyone could revolutionize in
C Dm Em
Peace by piece
F
Congo and Bolivia
Em
Vietnam, Angola
Dm
Let’s all drink from the same bottle
C Dm Em
Of rum and smoke
F
Let’s bounce that beach ball ‘round the place
Em
Let’s bounce up a better human race
Dm
Now the whole world is a great big
C Dm Em
Bouncing ball of opportunity
