The Lyrics

All the leaves are green and the sky is blue.
I've been for a swim in a swimming pool.
Back home in Indiana, a foot of snow today.
Costa Rica dreaming on such a winter's day!

Stopped off on a beach I passed along the way,
I stepped into the waves and I began to play.
It may be January but it feels like May.
Costa Rica dreaming on such a winter's day!

(musical interlude)

All the leaves are green and the sky is blue.
I've been for a swim in a swimming pool.
I go back to Indiana in a couple of days.
Costa Rica dreaming, I wish that I could stay!
Costa Rica dreaming, I wish that I could stay!
Costa Rica dreaming, I'm going back someday!

I spent a couple of winters in South Bend, Indiana. Costa Rica really sounds good about this time of the year. Had an uncle who went there long ago. Came home with about 30 kilos of coffee.
