Off to See The Lizard - Jimmy Buffett
I was raised by a maid who came from Martinique She wore geckos round her neck and bracelets on her feet A superstitious woman from the land of sugar cane She'd sing the sun to bed and dance out in the rain Dance out dance out dance out dance out in the rain She'd excite us with his legend that the Africans had told About a red iguana who turned lava into gold We'd mount an expedition headin' out into the bay Superstitious children playing pirate for a 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 do What works for me might work for you Bein' rich and famous seems to have its ups and downs That's the price you pay for being troubadours and clowns Godzilla's halitosis it be vaporizing cars Elvis up in Michigan or maybe out on Mars Dance out dance out dance out to the stars But livin' in the briar patch ain't what it appears Sooner or later you gotta face your fears I heard it from the parrot verbalizing in the tree I heard it in the songllines of the aborigine Off the see the lizard Off the see the lizard Deja deja deja vu, believe it And it will come true Veja veja veja do 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 I got problems wif my brain underneath my curls Problems wif Loraine and all the other girls Love a wealthy woman and the pretty plane she flies If you think this songs confusing you should see it through my eyes Dancin, dancin, dancin through my eyes I'm turning off the waterfall the tourists can go home Feel it time to travel time to write a poem Time to seek some therapy I'm goin' walkabout Answers are the easy part questions raise the doubt Off the see the lizard Off to see the lizard Deja deja deja vu, believe it And it will come true Veja veja veja do What works for me might work for you Deja deja deja vu, believe it And it will come true Veja veja veja do What works for me might work for you
