Honeymoon Safari

with a Mello Yello and a bag of Cheetos
we sat in the African sun
waited for a zebra heard
to have us a little fun
went skinning-dipping with a hippo
dogpaddled down the Nile
made out in our mosquito tent
fed a poacher to a crocodile

we were havin' a good time
on this Honeymoon Safari
memories for years and souvenirs
to share with all our friends
we were havin' a good time
on this Honeymoon Safari
we could stay in bed while we're newlyweds
on this Honeymoon Safari

is that Tom Petty on the Serengeti
or are we seeing things
"free fallin' into lovin'"
was engraved on our wedding rings
ordered a martini in Swahili
didn't understand a word
we were laughin' like hyenas
getting naked in the dirt

we wore out our welcome in Zimbabwe
got tired of the tribal dance
for a change of scenery our anniversary
will be somewhere in France
