Bahamas Pajamas
Joe Scruggs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Isn't he cool
In the Bahamas
In his pajamas?
Isle of the sea,
Oh say can you see
It's the place to be.
Bumblebees on me?
I took a chance on romance
He like to dance.
In the Bahamas
In his pajamas.
I bought a guitar,
He bought some cigars,
To play under the stars,
And started chasing cars
In the Bahamas.
In his pajamas!
In the Bahamas.
Bawk, bawk!
I love the gentle breeze.
Oh how he loves green peas.
The moon on the water,
Shining in the trees.
Could you pass them please?
I found love while I was there,
He found some gloves, but it wasn't a pair.
In the Bahamas,
In his pajamas,
The island so fair.
You could see his underwear!
I met the girl of my dreams,
He ripped his pants at the seams.
In my pajamas.
In the Bahamas!
I was under her care,
Mom taught me to share,
At the hospital there.
And to play fair. Bawk!
I had a fever,
He watched "Leave it to Beaver,"
In the Bahamas.
In his pajamas.
She helped me get well,
Life is so swell!
In love I fell.
There were wedding bells!
In my pajamas.
In the Bahamas!
In the Bahamas,
Not green peas again! Blech!!
I love the gentle breeze.
Oh how he loves green peas.
The moon on the water,
Shining through the trees.
Could you pass them please?
I found love while I was there.
He found gloves, but it wasn't a pair.
In the Bahamas,
Through his pajamas,
The island so fair.
You could see his underwear!
She's my bride.
I like to ride,
She's by my side.
When it's nice outside.
In the Bahamas.
I met her in my pajamas.
In the Bahamas!
In the Bahamas.
In my pajamas!
In my pajamas.
In the Bahamas!
Bawk!

I’m headed on a cruise that has several stops in the Bahamas tomorrow. This song hit me like a truck and I had to hop on my phone and look it up. This memory is vivid.
@ClabberHead
Every time I hear the phrase "In the Bahamas" I always think "In his pajamas!"
@bardthenascarfanaticdragon

So much fun!!! I took my kids to See Joe Scruggs in the mid 90's. We bought the VHS tape of his performance and spent lots of hours singing and enjoying his songs over the years. 💗😊
