[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
