Manana - Jimmy Buffett
She said I can't go
Back to america soon
So goddamn cold its
Gonna snow until june
Yeah
They're freezin up in
Buffalo stuck in their cars
And i'm lyin here neath
The sun and the stars
Customs man tells her
That shes gotta leave
Shes got a plan hidden up
Her shrewd sleeve
Wants to find her a captain
A man of strong mind
And any direction he
Blows will be fine
Please don't say manana
If you don't mean it
I have heard those words
For so very long
Don't try to describe the ocean
If youve never seen it
Don't ever forget that you
Just may wind up being wrong
Tried and I tried but
I don't understand
Never seemed to work
Out the way I had it planned
Hangin out at a marina
When steve martin called
Singin anybody there
Really want to get small
But women and water
Are in short supply
Theres not enough
Dope for us all to get high
I hear it gets better
That's what they say
As soon as we sail on
To cane garden bay
Please don't say manana
If you don't mean it
I have heard your lines
For so very long
Don't try to describe the scenery
If youve never seen it
Don't ever forget that you
Just may wind up in my song
Alright let's reggae reefers
Called all my friends on
Those cheap nightly rates
Sure was good to talk to
The old united states
While the lights of st
Thomas lie twenty miles west
I see general electrics
Still doing their best
I got to head this boat
South pretty soon
New albums old and
I'm fresh out of tunes
But I know that i'll get em
I know that theyll come
Through the people and
Places and caldwoods rum
So please don't say manana
If you don't mean it
(don't mean it)
I have done your lines for so very long
Don't try to describe a kiss concert
If youve never seen it
Don't ever forget that you
Just may wind up being gonged
And I hope anita bryant
Never ever does one of my songs
No no no
