Last Mango In Paris
Last mango in paris
By: jimmy buffett, marshall chapman, will jennings, michael utley
1985
"for all the living legends i've had the pleasure to know. there's
Still so much to be done."
I went down to captain tony's
To get out of the heat
Then i heard a voice call out to me
"son come have a seat"
I had to search my memory
As i looked into those eyes
Our lives change like the weather
But a legend never dies
Chorus:
He said i ate the last mango in paris
Took the last plane out of saigon
Took the first fast boat to china
And jimmy there's still so much to be done
I had a third world girl in buzios
With a pistol in each hand
She always kept me covered
As we moved from land to land
I had a damn good run on wall street
With my high fashion model wife
I woke up dry beneath the african sky
Just me and my swiss army knife
Chorus:
I ate the last mango in paris
Took the last plane out of saigon
Took the first fast boat to china
And jimmy there's still so much to be done
We shot the breeze for hours
As the sun fell from the sky
And like the sun he disappeared
Before my very eyes
It was somewhere past dark-thirty
And i went back to the head
I read upon the dingy wall
The words the old man said:
I ate the last mango in paris
Took the last plane out of saigon
Took the first fast boat to china
And jimmy there's still so much to be done
I ate the last mango in paris
Took the last plane out of saigon
Took the first fast boat to china
And jimmy there's still so much to be done
That's why we wander and follow la vie dansante

Saigon
You got everything that a girl should grow
Im so afraid to kiss you I might lose control
You can hold me tighter but turn loose of my gun
Its a sentimental present all the way from saigon
Honey, honey, honey, please call me
You dont need no money we can do it for free
I got a friend in phoenix with a two-way radio
All the static in my attic getting ready to blow
Saigon, honey, honey, honey
Saigon, honey, honey, honey
Saigon, honey, honey, honey
All the static in my attic getting ready to blow
I was talking to the mailman late last week
He had a letter in his sweater from stuttering don
He said things are getting better in sa, sa, sa, sa, sa
Saigon, honey, honey, honey
Saigon, honey, honey, honey
Saigon, honey, honey, honey
Things are getting better back in saigon
Saigon, honey, honey, honey

Everybodys on the run
By: jimmy buffett, marshall chapman, will jennings, michael utley
1985
I talk to more answering machines in a day, than I do to
People. nobodys home.
First time I ran was to the end of the block
But I didnt know then that it never would stop
Now I look around and what do I see
More and more people runnin faster than me
These days
Everybodys on the run
These days
Everybodys on the run
Well I fell in love for the very first time
But I couldnt keep up with that girl of mine
Night after night on a mighty fast track
She ran like the wind and she never looked back
These days
Everybodys on the run
These days
Everybodys on the run
-- spoken: lets run
These days
Everybodys on the run
These days
Everybodys on the run
Now Ive been to england and Ive been to france
I learned to love oysters and I know how to dance
Someday Ill die and come back again
As some little boy just-a runnin to win
These days
Everybodys on the run
These days
Everybodys on the run
Look in the mirror and what do I see
The gypsy and fool that I always will be
These days
Everybodys on the run
These days
Everybodys on the run
These days
Everybodys on the run
These days
Everybodys on the run

To spike jones and the city slickers and darlene vare

And now from the grand ballroom
The s.s. ? ? ? ? proudly presents our boy singer: jimmy boofey
Take it away jim
Id love to get you
On a slow boat to china
All to myself alone
Get you and keep you
In my arms ever more
Leave all your lovers
Weepin on a far away shore (waiter!)
Out on the briny
With the moon big and shiny
Melting your heart of stone
Honey Id love to get you
On a slow boat to china
All by myself alone

Whos steering the boat?

May I get a drink around here, now uh...?
You ever been on a cruise?

(instrumental)
...isnt that a good one?
Yes, can I see you later, you bet!
Excuse me, I have to go back to the bandstand now
Id love to get you
On a slow boat to china
All to myself alone
A twist in the rudder
And a rip in the sails
Driftin and dreamin
Honey throw the compass over the rail
Out on the ocean
Far from all the commotion
Melting your heart of stone
Honey Id love to get you
On a slow boat to china
All by myself alone
(I have to go now)
(wait! dont leave!)
Honey Id love to get you
On a slow boat to china
All to myself alone
-- spoken:
You know our last set is at two
I get off after that

Would you like to take a stroll around the upper deck?
See you then
Maybe, oo-hoo

Lets take a slow boat to china. leave from south carolina
Lets take our time and go the long way
On a junk boat to thailand with your hand in mine hand
I sure hope we got something to say
Well, this old boats go no sail so wont you please hold our mail-
For awhile
Thanks anyway pal but the suez canal -

Lets take a slow boat to china and maybe well find a
New way to play those same old games
The stars just might show us and the captain will know us
Shake our hands and call us by our first names
Well send a postcard to grandpa of a vase or rickshaw-
He dont care
Well buy mom a kimono or maybe well just phone her -
When were there
Well drink sake at night beneath the soft harbor lights-
On the bay
Well build house on the hill next to shangri-li bill -
And well stay
Lets take that slow boat to china (lets go)
Slow boat to china (real slow)
Slow boat to china (lets go)
Slow boat to china (real slow)

Jimmy Dreams
Jimmy dreams
Hes a child to the end
What a joy
When you are your best friend
The worlds such a toy
If you just stay a boy
Ou can spin it again and again
Jimmy flies
With no use for disguise
Just escapes
Using mirrors and capes
And the words do the trick
There is no bigger kick
Than just rhyming again and again
Sound of the low tide
The smell of the rain
Travellin alone
On my boat and my plane
Take it all in
Its as big as it seems
Count all your blessings
Remember your dreams
Jimmy stares
Towards the bright pleiades
Its so strange
What his distant eye sees
Who knows why you start
Rediscovering your heart
But you do it again and again
Sound of the low tide
Smell of the rain
Travelling alone
On my boat and my plane
Take it all in
Its as big as it seems
Count all your blessings
Remember your dreams
Jimmy stares
Towards the bright pleiades
Its so strange
What his distant eye sees
Who knows why you start
Rediscovering your heart
Ou just do it again and again
The worlds still a toy
If youll just stay a boy
And thats why jimmy dreams.

But that was nothing till I got to cathay

Somewhere Over China
Somewhere over china
By: jimmy buffett
1981
For the crazy flying tigers
Just a semi-normal person
Thought he had the future planned
Then he won some silly sweepstakes
Now he had a hundred grand
Never stopped to think of taxes
He was gone before they knew
With a flair for ol romantics
To the orient he flew
When they fueled in papeete
Placed a call to big mamou
With an honest explanation
Just to tell the whole damn truth
Its his one chance in a million
Whod deny the simple fact
twas no use to talk it over
Hed be home when he got back
Chorus:
Now hes somewhere over china
Lookin down on all the trails
On the mountains lookin back at him
Its a real live fairy tale
Put a little distance
Between causes and effects
Like a day old fortune cookie
Askin who or what comes next
What the hell did marco polo think
When he ran into the wall
Or the crazy flying tigers
Doin spins and loops and stalls
Just a taste for somethin different
Perking up a borin day
Now our man from louisiana
Feels exactly the same way
Chorus:
Theyre all somewhere over china
Shanghai or old peking
On a plane or a boat in an envelope
Real adventure has its ring
Just to put a little distance
Between fact and fantasy
Still six thousand miles away from
Where Id really rather be
How I would love to drive the shuttle
Just to feel the engines roar
And to operate the levers
That control the payload doors
I could buzz the himalayas
Barrel roll above hong kong
Set her down in san francisco
To the clangin of a gong
Chorus:
Were all somewhere over china
Headin east or headin west
Takin time to live a little
Flyin so far from the nest
Just to put a little distance
Between causes and effects
Like an ancient fortune teller
Knowin who and what comes next

Boat Drinks
Boat drinks
By: jimmy buffett
1979
Boat drinks
Boys in the band ordered boat drinks
Visitors scored on the home rink
Everything seems to be wrong
Lately, newspaper mentioned cheap air fare
I gotta to fly to saint somewhere
Im close to bodily harm
Twenty degrees and the hockey games on
Nobody cares they are way too far gone
Screamin boat drinks, something to keep em all warm
This mornin, I shot six holes in my freezer
I think I got cabin fever
Somebody sound the alarm
Id like to go where the pace of lifes slow
Could you beam me somewhere mr. scott?
Any ol place here on earth or in space
You pick the century and Ill pick the spot
Oh I know, (I know)
I should be leaving this climate
I got a verse but cant rhyme it
I gotta go where its warm
Boat drinks
Waitress I need two more boat drinks
Then Im headin south fore my dream shrinks
I gotta go where its warm (I gotta go where its warm)
I gotta go where its warm (I gotta go where its warm)
I gotta go where its warm!
I gotta go where there aint any snow
Where there aint any blow
cause my fin sinks so low
I gotta go where its warm

Top Jimmy
Some friends of mine, just the other night,
Went to hear this cool cat blow.
The say he sang so good that the roof fell in,
And they didnt even stop the show.
They dont remember the place, but they remember the face,
And now everybody wanna go.
Chorus:
Top jimmy cooks, top jimmy swings.
Hes got the look. top jimmy, hes the king.
Jimmy on the television, famous people laughing with him,
Jimmy on the news at five.
Jimmy on the radio and even on the video,
That baddest cat alive.
Driving all the women crazy, only want jimmy-baby,
Love it when he rolls his eyes.
Chorus
(guitar solo)
Juke-joint jimmy is the latest thing,
Hes got the sound that everybody digs.
And the joint been jumpin when the band been pumpin
And you know theyre playing crazy gigs.

China Girl
Pop/bowie
I could escape this feeling
With my china girl
Im just a wreck without
My little china girl
Id hear hearts beating
Loud as thunder
See the stars crashing
Im a mess without
My chlna girl
Wake up mornings theres
No china girl
Id hear hearts beating
Loud asthunder
Id see the stars crashing down
Id feel tragic
Like I was marlon brando
When Id look at my china girl
I could pretend that nothing
Really meant too much
When Id look at my china girl
Id stumble into town
Just like a sacred cow
Visions of swasticas in my head
And plans for everyone
Its in the white of my eyes
My little china girl
You shouldnt mess with me
Ill ruin everything you are
Ill give you television
Ill give you eyes of blue
Ill give you men who want
To rule the world
And when I get excited
My little china girl says
Oh jimmy just you
Shut your mouth
She says shhhh...

China (Ronson Vocal)
China, China, the evening's moving in
See you, soon now, the boat moves with the wind
China, China, I can see the harbour lights
Light your, fire, we'll be warm tonight
China, China, the thoughts drift from the sea
I'm dreaming, of you, wear your dress for me
China, China, the oceans on the wheel(?)
The seagulls flying lower now
China I can feel you by my side
Across the bay, across the Tyne
Can you hear me say
China, China, wear your hair down low
Lady, Lady, you're frozen to the bone
China, China, the catch was good today
The oilskins clinging to my back
And the lantern gently sways
Oh don't you cry, the kids to bed
Didn't mean the things I said
China, China, the years go rolling by
Laughter, sorrow, I will not make you cry
China, China, think before you speak
Always remember the ocean hauls as deep
And if I'm tired of feeling low
Don't let me sleep, you know
China, China, the men are on the quay
Drinking, smoking, talking quietly
The water's calmer now
All my work is done
So China, see ya.

It's Five O'clock Somewhere
The sun is hot and that old clock is movin' slow,
An' so am I.
Work day passes like molasses in wintertime,
But it's July.
I'm gettin' paid by the hour, an' older by the minute.
My boss just pushed me over the limit.
I'd like to call him somethin',
I think I'll just call it a day.
Pour me somethin' tall an' strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
It's only half-past twelve but I don't care.
It's five o'clock somewhere.
Oh, this lunch break is gonna take all afternoon,
An' half the night.
Tomorrow mornin', I know there'll be hell to pay,
Hey, but that's all right.
I ain't had a day off now in over a year.
Our Jamaican vacation's gonna start right here.
if the 'phones for me,
You can tell 'em I just sailed away.
An' pour me somethin' tall an' strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
It's only half-past twelve but I don't care.
It's five o'clock somewhere.
I could pay off my tab, pour myself in a cab,
An' be back to work before two.
At a moment like this, I can't help but wonder,
What would Jimmy Buffett do?
JIMMY BUFFETT:
Funny you should ask Alan,
I'd say:
Pour me somethin' tall an' strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
It's only half-past twelve but I don't care.
ALAN JACKSON & JIMMY BUFFETT:
Pour me somethin' tall an' strong,
Make it a "Hurricane" before I go insane.
It's only half-past twelve but I don't care.
He don't care.
I don't care.
It's five o'clock somewhere.
JIMMY BUFFETT:
What time zone am I on? What country am I in?
ALAN JACKSON:
It doesn't matter, it's five o'clock somewhere.
JIMMY BUFFETT:
It's always on five in Margaritaville, come to think of it.
ALAN JACKSON:
Yeah, I heard that.
JIMMY BUFFETT:
You been there haven't you.
ALAN JACKSON:
Yes, sir.
JIMMY BUFFETT:
I seen your boat there.
ALAN JACKSON:
I've been to Margaritaville a few times.
JIMMY BUFFETT:
All right, well that's good.
ALAN JACKSON:
Stumbled all the way back.
JIMMY BUFFETT:
OK. Just wanna make sure you can keep it between the navigational beacons.
ALAN JACKSON:
Between the bouys, I gotcha.
JIMMY BUFFETT:
All right. Well, it's five o'clock. Let's go somewhere.

Jimmy Gillum
I was raised up on the west side of town
That's where I met Jimmy Gillum
Baddest man around
He'd rather fight than eat
Mister That's no lie
If you cross him up smile and wave goodbye
Bad bad Jimmy baddest man alive
He was dynamite in a small pack
His fuse was short
He didn't cut no slack
Oh that Jimmy Gillum was a bad cat
Chorus:
Talk about trouble
You talk about mean
Jimmy was the baddest cat I've ever seen
You talk about trouble
Should've been his name
Jimmy never pulled a punch
He was a fightin' machine
Yeah he was he was a fightin' machine
Now I recall one night at the Sugar Bowl
That's a honky tonk where Jimmy goes
Yeah the One Percent were burnin' up the stage
In walk Jimmy in a drunken daze
Ready to fight son in the worst way
So I ran for cover behind the stage
Bottles started flyin' I began to pray
Please oh Lord don't let him look my way
Chorus:
It's been years since I saw Jimmy last
When I pulled into a jiffy the other day
Just to get some gas
I heard this guy screamin' next to me
Turn on this pump you dirty s.o.b.
To my surprise it was Jimmy alive and well
Jumped in my car and took off fast
Knew in a minute he'd be kickin' ass
Oh that Jimmy Gillum was a bad cat
Chorus:
Yea he was talk about trouble, talk about trouble
Yeaaaaoooowwww talk about trouble
Yea that boy was bad to the bone talk about trouble
Play it boys sound good
Us Gillums never die we just fade away
Ummmmm trouble boy

You touched me with your cool hand
Your perfumes in the wind
China girl, your daddy tells you white lies
To keep it from my blue eyes
To know me is no sin

And I wont break you, china girl
If you take me into your world
Its been my good fortune to find you
China girl
Stolen flowers, are the sweetest in the mornin
the eastern sun is dawnin
your silks against my skin
China girl, take me to your jasmine place
Cool me with your subtle grace
To know me is no sin

1985
Close your eyes and click your heels, think of skating rinks and
Spinning wheels. of those who will and those who wont, some
Hearts break while others dont.
Every day I read about these operations
That make a heart thats weak so strong again
I relate it to my own situation
And now I know just what to say to you
Chorus:
Please bypass this heart
Until Im well again
Lets not even start, to fall, where we fell again
The cheating was sweet but my heart is beat
Dont tear it apart
Please bypass this heart
Please bypass this heart
In simpler times I didnt need a lotta healin
My heart was young and strong and worked just fine
But now youve shown me theres a hurtin side of feelin
Theres just one cure and heres what you must do
Chorus:
Please bypass this heart
Until Im well again
Lets not even start, to fall, where we fell again
The cheating was sweet but my heart is beat
Dont tear it apart
Please bypass this heart
Please bypass this heart
-- spoken:
Skaters reverse
Couples only
All skate, all skate

Please bypass this heart
Until Im well again
Lets not even start, to fall, where we fell again
The cheating was sweet but my heart is beat
Dont tear it apart
Please bypass this heart

Woman is like a mango
A girl is a mango infantile,
That tastes in pickles.
A lass is about ripe mango,
That tastes in curries.
A woman is a ripe mango,
That tastes with its flesh.
At forties as juice and at fifties
As jelly, she lingers to my taste.
Even in sixties, she is like mango-essence.
In seventies, as endosperm of its nut
She still taste though differently.
Woman to men is evergreen.
