I had to leave my Miami and do some work in L.A.
And the cash was kinda low so I drove all the way
Coming back I got pulled over by patrol highway
"I'll let you go with a warning if you slow down my friend."
So I signed the dotted line and I was on my way and I sang

(REFRAIN)
Soon I'll be in Florida, soon I'll be in Florida
Soon I'll be in Florida… Florida!

And the "snowbirds" got to ride south on I-95
Later on they got to see the palms trees on the side
And they all took off their coats, made a pile on the side

And they sang…
Je serais beintot 'a Florida, Je serais beintot 'a Florida
Je serais beintot 'a Florida… Florida!

And the Cuban rafters were a week on the water
And they saw the coast line and they paddled with power
With a smile in their eyes they looked up to sky

And they sang
Pronto estare en Florida, Pronto estare en Florida
Pronto estare en Florida… Florida!

Meanwhile a plane is on final approach to M I A
"This is your captain speaking; please stow all your trays."
And the tourists are so happy 'cause they're all on they way

And they sang,
Ich komme nach Florida, Ich komme nach Florida
Ich komme nach Florida… Florida!

If you feeling kinda blue, I know just what to say
Come down to the Southeast coast, cast your troubles away
Now you have no excuse I your friend on my way and I say!

Soon I'll be in Florida, soon I'll be in Florida
Soon I'll be in Florida… Florida!
