[00:40.64] |
The wind is in from Africa |
[00:44.13] |
Last night I couldn't sleep |
[00:46.91] |
You know it sure is hard to leave here Carey |
[00:50.71] |
It's really not my home |
[00:54.19] |
My fingernails are filthy |
[00:57.02] |
I got beach tar on my feet |
[01:00.41] |
And I miss my clean white linen |
[01:03.90] |
And my fancy French cologne |
[01:07.23] |
Oh Carey get out your cane |
[01:10.87] |
And I'll put on some silver |
[01:14.57] |
Oh you're a mean old daddy |
[01:17.25] |
But I like you |
[01:21.59] |
Down to the Mermaid Cafe |
[01:24.22] |
I will buy you a bottle of wine |
[01:27.89] |
We'll laugh and toast to nothing |
[01:31.33] |
And smash our empty glasses down |
[01:34.67] |
Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers |
[01:38.56] |
A round for these friends of mine |
[01:41.58] |
Let's have another round for the bright red devil |
[01:45.12] |
Who keeps me in this tourist town |
[01:48.42] |
Oh Carey get out your cane |
[01:52.31] |
And I'll put on some silver |
[01:55.94] |
Oh you're a mean old daddy |
[01:58.48] |
But I like you |
[02:02.98] |
Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam |
[02:06.16] |
Maybe I'll go to Rome |
[02:09.24] |
And rent me a grand piano |
[02:12.43] |
And put some flowers 'round my room |
[02:16.54] |
But let's not talk about fare-thee-wells now |
[02:19.97] |
The night is a starry dome |
[02:22.84] |
And they're playin' that scratchy rock & roll |
[02:26.69] |
Beneath the matalla moon |
[02:30.29] |
Come on Carey get out your cane |
[02:33.63] |
And I'll put on some silver |
[02:37.22] |
Oh you're a mean old daddy |
[02:39.75] |
But I like you,just fine |
[03:45.30] |
The wind is in from Africa |
[03:48.54] |
Last night I couldn't sleep |
[03:51.36] |
You know it sure is hard to leave here Carey |
[03:55.25] |
But it's really not my home |
[03:59.20] |
Maybe it's been too long a time |
[04:01.92] |
Since I was scramblin' down in the streets |
[04:05.72] |
They got me used to that clean white linen |
[04:09.15] |
And that fancy French cologne |
[04:12.85] |
Come on Carey get out your cane |
[04:16.52] |
And I'll put on some silver |
[04:20.06] |
Down to the Mermaid Cafe |
[04:22.84] |
Have fun tonight |
[04:26.28] |
I said Oh you're a mean old daddy |
[04:30.37] |
But you're out of sight |
[04:38.41] |
Carey get out your cane |
