Lyrics:

Playin' eighteen in the morning sun; swingin' and dreamin' of a hole in one,
tell me, what could be better than livin' like a millionaire?
Cool sun glasses and a great big smile;
gotta a funny feelin' I'll be stayin' a while;
can't imagine bein' anywhere else but here.

CHORUS:
Shovelin' Sunshine, that's what I'll say if you ever ask me what I do all day.
There's not really too much to it, but somebody's gotta do it.
Shovelin' sunshine, hey now this is the life,
it's a Villages state of mind, strummin' my old guitar, and shovelin' sunshine.

Think I'll head to Katie's it's the place to go;
the band's always rockin' and the good times roll;
you never meet a stranger when the party begins.
Dancin' to the music while the night is young;
tomorrow I'll be wakin' at the break of dawn,
for another day in paradise that never ends.

REPEAT CHORUS:
Shovelin' Sunshine, that's what I'll say if you ever ask me what I do all day.
There's not really too much to it, but somebody's gotta do it.
Shovelin' sunshine, hey now this is the life,
it's a Villages state of mind, strummin' my old guitar, and shovelin' sunshine.

Woa-oh shovelin' sunshine, hey now this is the life,
it's a Villages state of mind, strummin' my old guitar, and shovelin' sunshine.
Out cruisin' in my new golf car, I'm shovelin' sunshine!
