[Verse 1]
Tonight's alive
The beachball's set to fly
Those well tequilaed guys
Who smile at strangers
À tes souhaits
À tes amours chéri
You give a little sneeze
And dance the rhu-rhu-rhu-rhu-rhumba

[Chorus]
This life is sweet
We're dancing in the street
Who knows who you might meet?
You'll do fine

[Verse 2]
The little weekends here
Thursday has an ear
The kaffeeklatsch career
She talks to strangers
And kissing by the sea
Particular to me
'ti punch, mojito, sling
And dance the rhu-rhu-rhu-rhu-rhumba

[Chorus]
This life is sweet
We're dancing in the street
Who knows who you might meet?
You'll do fine

[Verse 3]
We flash the seaside sky
With starfish butterflies
To cast a spell and welcome locals
Weekenders and strangers

[Outro]
You'll do fine
You'll do fine
You'll do fine

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
