It’s Florida time
Well we’re passin’ through Georgia and we’re right on time
We’re going to florida to have a good time
If we get there ahead of the rest
We’ll tan right up so we all look the best
It’s Florida time an it’s really all right
Find a good girl and just treat her right
The Florida border just round the bend
There’s Cindy and Terry and the rest of our friends
The GTO has ten people inside
And the road is lined with guys hitchin’ rides
It’s Florida time an it’s really all right
Grab a good girl and just hold her tight
Florida time
In Florida and some will turn off
Some will hit Daytona and the rest will head south
The Lauderdale beach is just up ahead
I’d like to hit Nassau but my wallet is dead
It’s Florida time an it’s really all right
Find a good girl and just treat her right
Florida Time
