Lyrics

At the end of Las Olas there is a bar
with wood bars and carvings and many a scar
it’s been here since the 30’s through fortune and fame
with Connie & George the memories remain
but what makes it special is the people it brings
they all come from somewhere to drink & then sing

down at the Elbo there’s always cold beer
and you can laugh at the tourists it all happens hear

now Kirk works the main bar and he’s always been here
through seasons and hurricanes many beer after beer
And Tom works the other and he’s always got a plan
to make lots of money then give up his stand
but what makes us special is we’re all here today
we share laughter and good times
then watch them all play

down at the Elbo there’s always cold beer
and you can laugh at the tourists it all happens hear
you’ll meet a many you’ll dance if you can
then share your life with strangers
and then go home friends

my name is Glenn I sing the songs they drink the beer
Jimmy Joel & John songs are the songs they love to hear
then a man named Jay walks up
and says “son can you break it down”
he drops a buck and says good luck
he says “I know you know that sound”
yea I’ve got a women she’s the prettiest thing I’ve seen
yea I’ve got a women she’s the prettiest thing I’ve seen
she’s the one I call my Dixie queen
she loves me in the mourning she loves me in the night
she loves me until I’m ripe
I’ve got a women she’s the prettiest thing I’ve seen
she’s the one I call my Dixie queen
I look around they’re rolling in let the night begin
that time of night when people party and commit some sin
then a brown-eyed beauty walks up and says
“sing a song for me I like to hear some reggae reggae
here’s a dollar please”
see the young girls at the table
see the young man is he stable yea
what do they come for what do they prey
what do they ask for ask them and they’ll say
hey hey we come for atmosphere
hey hey we come for cold beer yea
we love a stripe that’s red we love a stripe that’s red

we love a stripe that’s red we love a stripe that’s red
down at the Elbo down at the Elbo
Rick turns to Pete and says made money for my little “D””
Jay backs the bar Lisa and Keith gets the glasses clean
Sean likes to Entertain up stairs while I do my show
it’s getting late I think I’ll do one more before I hit the road

down at the Elbo there’s always cold beer
and you can laugh at the tourists it all happens here
you’ll meet a many you’ll dance if you can
and share your life with strangers & then go home friends
