Kiss Your Money And Your Dreams Goodbye

by California ™ - feat. Les Fradkin

/

about

Les and Loretta booked on a Norwegian Cruise to Israel and Egypt in November 2023 for their 23rd Wedding Anniversary. But war broke out and Norwegian refuses to Cancel or even give them a refund or an alternate trip. Who would want to walk into a war or travel into a war zone and put themselves in danger?

Kiss your money and your dreams goodbye describes not only the story of the booking that Les and Loretta made with Norwegian Cruise Lines but the financial ruin potentially experienced by thousands of passengers whose bookings and dreams are now impacted by the Israeli Gaza war.

Because of Norwegian intransigence, Les & Loretta wrote and recorded this song after no refunds from anyone to tell their story. And listen for the surprise ending!

Refrain: Kiss your money and your dreams goodbye
Kiss your money and your dreams goodbye

Chorus: Norwegian takes your money, they took our money honey
They’re playing a shell game hidden from your eye
They say that you can cancel, but when you do they answer
Kiss your money and your dreams goodbye

V1: Thousands of people treated like they’re sheeple
Booked on a cruise to where they cannot go
Trapped upon their ship before their sailing trip
Trying to keep our money and avoid Gaza you know

V2: We all signed a contract with no remedy or recourse
Even calls to Congress just don’t do us any good
Even if you cancel, you just can’t get an answer
Norwegian simply won’t do what they know that they should

Chorus: Norwegian takes your money, they took our money honey
They’re playing a shell game hidden from your eye
They say that you can cancel, but when you do they answer
Kiss your money and your dreams goodbye..

BR: Don’t forget the small print the part that says they can
Take you anywhere they want, even Afghanistan
You know that you can't go there but you ship us off to nowhere
Just so you can send us to any foreign land. (Solo)

Norwegian was warned that the journey was in danger
Everybody saw the War ignite Israeli’s disk
Would you trust their ships that ignore their safety tips
Travel on Norwegian at your own damn risk!

Chorus: Norwegian takes your money, they took our money honey
They’re playing a shell game hidden from your eye
They say that you can cancel, but when you do they answer
Kiss your money and your dreams goodbye

Chant:
Cancel the Cruise, Ain’t ya heard the news?
Give us back our money, let us go where we choose…
