Sunsplashing

Sunsplashing Found myself living on the right side of paradise. Swear I haven't thought about you Well maybe once or twice Chillaxin' in my hammock Just waiting for the ocean to sneeze The waves washed my footprints in the sand There hasn't been a sign of me. Sunsplashing away Sunsplashing my life away Ben Harper on the radio singing He's gonna burn one down I smoked a joint with my morning coffee. I see no harm I burn another one now Don't think I've got no worries I've got some tough decisions to make Do I want Mango or Papaya juice to mix with my next Rum drink? I'm sunsplashing my life away Nine degrees north latitude Is where I make my home Quepos, Costa Rica Where the days are lazy and long. And when the sun it goes to sleep To rest up for tomorrow's day We hit the beach Build a fire and Moonsplash the night away I like to mind my own business Don't try to give others advice But I'd like to share some words of wisdom I heard from a good friend of mine He said Santi when life gets too heavy And you're carrying a troublesome load Get to beach and sunsplash And those troubles drift away in the undertow Sunsplash your life away Monkeys in the tree tops All laughing at my white skin Pretty lil' Ticas walking on the beach Everybody's wearing a grin I am like that ole 3 toed sloth I need a reason to move Cause I've got everything I need right here And baby I don't need you. Sunplashing my life away.

Hello Mr Burdon, I am writing to seek your permission to quote the third stanza from Sunsplashing on a temporary interpretation sign at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew from the 14 March to the 11 April 2021. This would be as part of the Orchid Festival - highlighting the orchids of Costa Rica. Thank you for considering this request. Cheers Sharon Willoughby
