Christmas In The Conch Republic

By Jimmy Shoals · Merry Christmas From Key West

Under sunny skies, where the breeze feels right, The holidays shine in a tropical light. No snow to see, just the sand and sea, It’s Christmas time in the Conch family. On Duval Street the lights glow bright, Palm trees shimmer in the moon’s soft light. A conch shell wreath on every door, While carolers sing at the old seashore. Fishermen string lights on their boats so fine, A holiday flotilla on the waves divine. Christmas in the Conch Republic, (Christmas in the conch republic) Where the cocktails flow (the cocktails flow) and the laughs are quick. (the laughs are quick) From Mallory Square to the Southernmost Buoy, We raise a toast to island joy. In flip-flops and pirate hats, we gather near, For a tropical Christmas, filled with cheers. (filled with cheers) At Sloppy Joe’s, the spirits are high, Eggnog served with a rum supply. The sunset paints the holiday glow, With a conga line that steals the show. Parades on scooters, Santa’s in shades, With a sleigh pulled by dolphins through the waves. Christmas in the Conch Republic, (Christmas in the conch republic) Where the cocktails flow (the cocktails flow) and the laughs are quick From Mallory Square to the Southernmost Buoy, We raise a toast to island joy. In flip-flops and pirate hats, we gather near, For a tropical Christmas, filled with cheers. (filled with cheers) No frost or snow, (just the ocean breeze,) Decorated buoys (and turquoise seas.) With every laugh, (the spirit is clear,) Key West is magic (this time of year.) We dance and sing (‘neath the banyan trees,) Spreading joy (with every conch-shell plea.) Christmas in the Conch Republic, (Christmas in the conch republic) Where the cocktails flow (the cocktails flow) and the laughs are quick From Mallory Square to the Southernmost Buoy, We raise a toast to island joy. In flip-flops and pirate hats, we gather near, For a tropical Christmas, filled with cheers. (filled with cheers) So grab your shades and a drink in hand, Join the party, it’s a holiday plan. In the Conch Republic, we make it clear, Christmas is better when the tropics are near.
