Grapefruit - Juicy Fruit Lyrics
Grapefruit
Bathing suit
Chew a little Juicy Fruit
Wash away the night
Drive-in
Guzzle gin
Commit a little mortal sin
It's good for the soul.
(Bridge)
And oh, it gets so damn lonely
When you're on the plane all alone
And if I had the money, Honey
I'd strap you in beside me
And never ever leave you
Leave you at home all alone and crying.
Ten speed
No need
My pick-up gets me where I please
Shuggin' sown the street.
But I'll be leavin'
In a little while
So close your eyes and I'll
Be back real soon
(Repeat bridge)
(Repeat first verse)

this is the life. at the beach chewin on some juicy fruit. great song.
It's a song about living the life of being in a band/musician/rockstar. Possibly cheating with a groupie while your out on the road and making excuses to your girlfriend/wife. Lying to her in a sense, "It's so lonley without you, but I can't afford for you to come with me.." when obviously the person (be it Buffett or a fictional character) is making enough money that he can now fly from gig to gig and have some fun after each show. He visits home on breaks and repeats the cycle when the tour starts again. I would imagine he's chilling at the hotel pool/beach thinking about the night before eating Grapefruit to stay skinny, chewing juicy fruit to "wash away the night". Which may be symbolic for washing away his sins.
