Jimmy Buffett - Off to See the Lizard lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - Off to See the Lizard lyrics]
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 sugarcane
She'd sing the sun to bed and
Dance out in the rain
Dance out, dance out, dance out in the rain
She'd excite us with a legend
That the Africans told
About a red iguana who turned lava into gold
We'd mount an expedition heading
Up into the bay
Superstitious children playing pirate
For a day
Off to see the lizard off to see the lizard
Déjà, déjà, déjà vu
Believe it and it will come true
Véjà, véjà, véjà du
What works for me might work for you
Being rich and famous seems to
Have it's ups and downs
But 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 living in the briar patch
Ain't what it appears
Sooner or later you've got to face your fears
I heard it from the parrot
Verbalizing in the tree
I heard in the song line of the Aborigine
Off to see the lizard off to see the lizard
Déjà, déjà, déjà vu
Believe it and it will come true
Véjà, véjà, véjà 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 flies
If you think this sounds confusing
You should see it through my eyes
Dancing, dancing, dancing through my eyes
I'm 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
I'm going walkabout
Answers are the easy part
Questions raise the doubt
Off to see the lizard off to see the lizard
Déjà, déjà, déjà vu
Believe it and it will come true
Véjà, véjà, véjà du
What works for me might work for you
Déjà, déjà, déjà vu
Believe it and it will come true
Véjà, véjà, véjà du
What works for me might work for you
Who came from Martinique
She wore geckos 'round her neck
And bracelets on her feet

Dance out, dance out, dance out in the rain
