Song Information
|
"Enjoy It While You Can" is a song sung by cruise entertainment director Rowan Priddis at the halfway point of the cruise. He was backed by Gary Ocean and the Motion.
Lyrics
- Enjoy it while you can,
- Ice sculptures, conga lines and working on your tan.
- Enjoy it while you're here,
- One week of glitz and glam instead of pain and fear.
- In just a few days time this boat pulls into dock,
- And when it does you lovely people may be in for a shock.
- Here you've made exciting friends, back home you'll all loose touch.
- Here Hawaiian shirts are cool, back home, well not so much.
- Back home you'll be too tired for making magic in the sack.
- So eat buffet, and play and pray there's some delay on our way back.
- Enjoy it while you can,
- Here at sea we drink and frolic, back home that's called alcoholic,
- Your futures are but parabolic
- Enjoy it while you can!

We went in a Carnival Cruise, 'Feelin' Hot Hot Hot' direction."[1][2] Steve Coogan recorded his vocals in New York.
