Jimmy Buffett - Off to See The Lizard текст песни

Off to see the lizard

By: jimmy buffett, jay oliver

1989

I was raised by a maid who came from martinique

She wore geckos around her neck and bracelets on her feet

A superstitious woman from the land of sugar cane

Shed sing the sun to bed and dance out in the rain

Dance out, dance out, dance out in the rain

Shed excite us with a legend that the africans told

About a red iguanna who turned lava into gold

Wed mount an expedition heading up into the bay

Superstitious children playing pirate for the day

Chorus:

Off to see the lizard

Off to see the lizard

Deja deja deja vu

Believe it and it will come true

Veja veja veja du

What works for me might work for you

Being rich an famous seems to have its ups and downs

But thats the price you pay for being troubadours and clowns

Godzillas halitosis it be vaporizing cars

Elvis up in michigan or maybe out on mars

Dance out, dance out, dance out to the stars

But living in the briar patch aint what it appears

Sooner or later youve got to face your fears

I heard it from the parrot verbalizing in the tree

I heard in the songline of the aborigine

Chorus:

Off to see the lizard

Off to see the lizard

Deja deja deja vu

Believe it and it will come true

Veja veja veja du

What works for me might work for you

Does it work for me? (yeah, yeah)

Will it work for you? (yeah, yeah)

If you believe it will (yeah, yeah)

It will come true (yeah, yeah)

I got problems with my brain underneath my curls

Problems with loraine and all the other girls

Love a wealthy woman and the pretty plane she flys

If you think this sounds confusing you should see it through my eyes

Dancing, dancing, dancing through my eyes

Im turning off the waterfall the tourists can go home

I feel it time to travel take time to write a poem

Time to seek some therapy Im going walkabout

Answers are the easy part, questions raise the doubt

Chorus:

Off to see the lizard

Off to see the lizard

Deja deja deja vu

Believe it and it will come true

Veja veja veja du

What works for me might work for you

Deja deja deja vu

Believe it and it will come true

Veja veja veja du

What works for me will work for you
