Jimmy Buffett - Last Mango in Paris lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - Last Mango in Paris lyrics]
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
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 Búzios
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"
"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
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
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 Búzios
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"
"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
