Club Tropicana Lyrics

Let me take you to the place
Where membership's a smiling face
Brush shoulders with the stars
Where strangers take you by the hand
And welcome you to wonderland
From beneath their panamas

Club Tropicana drinks are free
Fun and sunshine - there's enough for everyone
All that's missing is the sea
But don't worry, you can suntan

Castaways and Lovers meet
Then kiss in Tropicana's heat
Watch the waves break on the bay
Soft white sands, a blue lagoon
Cocktail time, a summer's tune
A whole night's holiday

Club Tropicana drinks are free
Fun and sunshine - there's enough for everyone
All that's missing is the sea
But don't worry you can suntan

Pack your bags
And leave tonight
Don't take your time
Gotta move your feet
Don't you miss the flight
Cool, cool, cool, cool

Club Tropicana drinks are free
Fun and sunshine - there's enough for everyone
All that's missing is the sea
But don't worry, you can suntan

Cool, cool, cool, cool

Cover art for Club Tropicana lyrics by Wham!

Somehting I never understood with this song. The chorus says: "All thats missing is the sea", yet in the 2nd verse: "watch the waves break on the bay". Where did these waves come from if there is no sea!?!? Just something i always wondered

I agree! The video shows them at the beach, too, I think. Nice song, though--very easy to listen to.

Heard this on the radio today and it reminded me I always thought exactly the same thing: sea or no sea, come on George make your mind up. I reckon he realised what a terrible lyrical gaffe he had made, broke up the band, then went into a period of self-destructive substance abuse ... all because of a simple piece of lazy editing. Deserved to get arrested.

@K-nuxXx Prof Cloonan: “For those in the know the answer is obvious – ‘Club Tropicana’ is in the hills above San Antonio at Ibiza’s legendary Pikes Hotel (now known as Ibiza Rocks House), where the video was shot. So some distance from the sea.”
