"Palm tree in my garden" by hooyoosay sounds like a happy beach-pool-summer fun song, and offers a cocktail of pop, R&B, rap, alternative, funk and a bluesy, vintage 70's feel.
It deals with the topic of having all the wealth and popularity in the world, but then perhaps falling a bit short of true friendship.

PALM TREE IN MY GARDEN
(Written & performed by hooyoosay)
I've got a palm tree in my garden.
Oh yeah, a palm tree in my garden.
Oh, lucky me, oh oh lucky me.
And I've got a pool in my yard.
A large pool in my yard.
Oh, lucky me, oh oh lucky me.
I've got a sports car on the drive.
A black, shiny sports car on the drive.
Oh, lucky me, oh oh lucky me.
And I've got a grand piano in the house.
Wow, a grand piano in the house!
Oh, lucky me, oh oh lucky me.
But I'm sitting here all alone
in my posh and fancy home.
There's never anyone on the phone.
Feeling like a dog without a bone.
Oh, is that me? Oh gee, that is me!
I've got a single in the charts.
A single in the indie music charts.
Oh, lucky me, oh oh lucky me.
And I've got money in the bank.
Lots of good money in the bank.
Oh, lucky me, oh oh lucky me.
I've got my name in the papers.
My name in all the major papers.
Oh, lucky me, oh oh lucky me.
And I've got ten thousand online friends.
Ten thousand online friends!
Oh, lucky me, oh oh lucky me.
But I'm sitting here all alone
in my posh and fancy home.
There's never anyone on the phone.
Feeling like a dog without a bone.
Oh, is that me? Oh gee, that is me!
I've got a palm tree in my garden.
Ah yeah, a palm tree in my garden.
Oh, lucky me, oh oh lucky me.
I've got a palm tree in my garden.
Woh, a palm tree in my garden!
Oh, is that me, oh gee, is that me?
Oh, that is me, oh gee, that is me!
