Miami
Words and music by bob seger
They saw the lights on the horizon
Out of the seas it came shinin
The buildings so high
They seemed to touch the sky
Miami, oh, miami
They felt the warm breezes blowing
From off the strange new ocean
They reached the end safe
It was a new day
Miami, oh, miami
Oh, it mustve seemed
Something from a dream
Shinin through the night
All those city lights
Staring at the shore
Hungry, tired and worn
Could it really be
Were they really free
And so they came
A hundred thousand
To find a way of life
They could believe in
Far away from home
With nothing of their own
To miami, oh miami
They saw the lights
Miami

But this is Miami, you can't come to Miami and not show any skin. You gotta show something. If you're all covered up in this heat, you're gonna make me pass out out just to look at you. It's sweaty in Miami-but the diamonds will keep me cool.
Miami
Theres a girl over there
With the rhythm everywhere
Shes a very fine girl
And shes been awfully nice to me
When we walk as we sometimes do
All the way out collins avenue
Well its very, very fine
Very, very special
Very
Gee, I love miami
Its so nice and hot
And every buildings so pretty and white
And I always get into so much trouble
When Im down there
I know these two old stiffs
Live on the waterway
Thats where I like to stay
When Im down
In
Miami
Blue day
Best dope in the world
And its free
Miami
Blue day
Put on your shortie shorts
And your hawaiian shirt
And come down!
Theres a man over there
With the conk in his hair
Hes a very bad man
Dont look now
Hes really very bad
And his name is medina
And he comes from argentina
See that little dog there with him
Well, he treats it just like it was his little boy
Oh, I love miami
Its so hot
And the women down here
Are so impure
I love to hang around
The big hotels
And sleep in the sun all day
I know this double jointed guiy
With the circus in st. pete
Hes with me now
He says hello
From fourteenth street
In
Miami
Blue day
Best dope in the world
And its free
Miami
Blue day
Put on your shortie shorts
And your hawaiian shirt
And come down!

One of my favorite vacation places is Miami, because of the people, the water and the beach - of course - and the architecture on Miami Beach is so wonderful.

Miami
Written by John Mellencamp
Well I hear in Miami they have a lot of girls
Who toast their flesh in the sun
Living on allowances they receive from the old man at home
To keep up appearances to have fun
CHORUS:
Hey baby
Living in Miami
I know you're hip to those hotel alibis
I know you're nowhere near twenty
But I ain't the kind to kiss and tell or tell lies
Well they are easy to look at, they are hard to hold
They have high opinions of themselves
But at night you can find them drinking in the bar
Wishing that they could find somebody else
CHORUS
Well they pull and tug on their high fashion clothes
As they strip off their armor in their apartment bedrooms
They wish that somewhere they can find a spark
Well their sights and visions and dreams are set high
They think the world can be won with a smile
I hear 'em giggle out loud, lost in the crowd
Give me a cuddle when we get outside
CHORUS
Hey baby
Living in Miami
I know you're hip to those hotel alibis
I know you're nowhere near twenty
But I ain't the kind to kiss and tell or tell lies

Miami
Miami has a pickle smell,
A smell that tells you all is well,
You enter in a restaurant,
And eat and eat all that you want.
And there is herring too, you know,
So white that it resembles snow,
'Light Bagels' with some cream and lox,
That even would please Mr. Fox.
Miami how I love your name,
I come and go, you are the same,
Maybe a new hotel or two,
But that won't change my love for you.

Everybodys Got A Cousin In Miami
Everybodys got a cousin in miami
By: jimmy buffett, michael tschudin
1993
--spoken:
Hey jimmy, you know anybody in miami that can get me a passport
Real quick?
Oh yeah, yeah man. Ive got a cousin up there. he knows
Everthing about everything. lets see if Ive got his number
Here somewhere, yeah. no, he works out of a payphone...oh yeah.
Ive got it here. okay. todays international investor,
Whatever that is. yeah, everybodys got a cousin in miami. here
We go.
It was was ninety miles to freedom
But they took the risk
Though ocean was all motion
And the wind was brisk
The deadly gunboats never saw them
In the pale moonlight
They were off to cayo hueso
By the dawns early light
The gringo in the garden called the customs man
They answered all his questions
Were allowed to land
The ladies shared a hairbrush
And their husbands had a coke
And they were taken up to krome
To meet with there kin folk
Chorus:
Everybodys got a cousin in miami
(everybodys got a cousin in miami)
Everybody understands the impromptu
Dancing in the heat to the beat
That turns your clothing clammy (ooooohhhhh)
Everybody needs to have a dream come true
In a third world jungle
Not so far away
Lives a natural drummer
With a dream to play
Hes the brother of the lizard
And the flying fish
But hes enchanted by the pictures
>from the satellite dish
So his mama packs his bag
Knots his red neck tie
Send him north to her relations
With a kiss goodbye
Hes bewildered by the plane ride
And the immigration line
Until he sees his christian name
Upon a cardboard sign
Chorus:
Everybodys got a cousin in miami
(everybodys got a cousin in miami)
Everybody is an aborigine
Dancing in the heat to the beat
It turns your clothing clammy (ooooohhhhh)
Everybody want to win that lottery
--spoken:
And the winning numbers are...7, 6, 5, 3, 7, 9. uh, close, so
Close. history lesson, history lesson.
Its hard to believe this city started as a trading post
Home to the seminole pirate and pioneer
Between the river of grass and the old mosquito coast
Before the railroad claimed the southernmost frontier
I am umbilically connected to the temperate zone
It brought me life, it brought me love
I never have outgrown
Brought me one too many nights along that biscayne shore
And one too many mornings in the grove drugstore
And one way or the other were all refugees
Livin out this easy life below the banyan trees
Smoothing off the rougher edges of the culture clash
Weve got a style weve got a look
Weve got that old panache
Chorus:
Everybodys got a cousin in miami
(everybodys got a cousin in miami)
Everybody understands the impromptu
Dancing in the heat to the beat
It turns your clothing clammy (ooooohhhhh)
Everybody needs to have a dream come true
--spoken:
I do, I do. lets take it down boys. down south to those
Little latitudes. ya ya, ya ya. thank you robert.
Chorus:
Everybodys got a cousin in miami
(everybodys got a cousin in miami)
Everybody is an aborigine
Dancing in the heat to the beat
It turns your clothing clammy (ooooohhhhh)
Under the stars in the bars down by the sea
Oh me now
Everybodys got a cousin in miami
(everybodys got a cousin in miami)
Everybody has to have that impromptu
--spoken:
What are we doing now?
Dancing in the heat to the beat
It turns your clothing clammy (ooooohhhhh)
Everybody needs to have a dream come true
--spoken:
I do. I do. I had this dream the other day. I was down on the
Equator. I didnt know whether I was up or down. I couldnt
Tell the difference. it was hot and we were rockin. and the
Coral reefers gathered around me and they said: we want a raise
Or were going to quit. and thats when I woke up. so play
Boys, play.

BA Business Class (Life Poem)
Neighbours resent the forced eye-contact intimacy,
Seat barrier raised despite friendly pre-flight hello,
Too English to be happy, too weird to be interesting,
Smiling Simon says, “Nice to have you, with us, Sir”.
Irish Grubeen, Mature Scottish Cheddar after dinner,
The port on London to Miami is strangely Stiltonless,
Scottish Tracy saves the day with First Class foray,
Admits she is a Lockerbie lass with nerves of steel.
Captain Lightfoot lands this little piece of England,
More gently than his movie namesakes ever could.
I count 55 Miami immigration stamps in my passport,
Maybe yoga would make this commute more fun.

Ive Gotta Find You
Ive got this dream that wont go away
When I close my eyes your there night and day
Baby whatever it takes Ive gotta find you
Are you someone I know or that Ill meet by chance
Are you somewhere close or in a far away land
Across the ocean or burnin sand, Ive gotta find you
Ive gotta find you
Dont care how long it takes
I know when I do itll be worth the wait
With God as my witness and love as my guiding star
Maybe miami on some sandy beach
New york city making waves on wall street
No matter where you are
Ive gotta find you
Ive gotta find you
You could be a checker at the grocery store
For all I know youre the girl next door
One thing I know for sure, Ive gotta find you
You might be a waitress workin your way through school
Or the anchor person on the six oclock news
Only my heart knows who, Ive gotta find you
Ive gotta find you
Ddont care how long it takes
I know when I do itll be worth the wait
With God as my witness and love as my guiding star
Maybe miami on some sandy beach
New york city making waves on wall street
No matter where you are
Ive gotta find you
No matter where you are
Ive gotta find you
Ive gotta find you.

We made part of the record in Miami, and I would go down to the beach, and not 20 feet from the water I see a fish that is at least seven feet long swimming close to the shore. I did not go back in the ocean the entire month.
