    Down at the Blue Bee Bar (Green Turtle Cay, Bahamas) By Phil Schneider ASCAP © 2008 I. Sail on down ta Green Turtle Key; there’s a place there, ain’t much ta see. Don’t let that turn you away ‘cause it’s tha place all tha cruisers come ta play. Chorus: Down at tha Blue Bee Bar, Down at tha Blue Bee Bar, Everbody’s bottom ‘s bumpin’ ‘cause tha place is really jumpin’, Down at tha Blue Bee Bar! II. Tha first time I went down ta Miz E’s I didn’t think there was room ta squeeze. Bizness cards wuz pinned to all tha walls an’ hangin’ from tha rafters wuz panties an’ bras! III. In a room to tha side wuz a pool table but there were so many people we weren’t able. A couple in tha corner did it on tha floor; with a crowd standin’ round cheerin’ for more! IV. A nurse from Jacksonville got up ta dance; she fell out tha door an’ wet her pants! There wuz two girls dancin’ on tha tiny little bar wearin’ nuthin’ but their smiles, an’ there you are V. Miz E wouldn’t put up with all this fuss; she stood there hollerin’ at all of us. Tha po-lice busted in; they made a big crash. It wuz one hell of a Goom-bay smash!
