歌曲 | The Weather Is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful |
歌手 | Jimmy Buffett |
专辑 | Coconut Telegraph |
Lyrics:Jimmy Buffett Music:Jimmy Buffett | |
This song is for Billy Clyde Tuggel. I hope you make it to Tahiti one day. | |
Spoken: | |
'Play Ball!! (one, two, three, four)' | |
'Where's my per diem? (Ladies and gentlemen, the Carl Reiner Band)' | |
'Hey Bobby, where's the keys to the rent-a-car?' | |
'Jimmy, Jimmy, can I open the show in Atlanta please?' | |
'Warning! Don't ever start a band!' | |
He worked hard all year, just wanted a few weeks alone | |
But his old lady's into modelin', she can't get away from a phone | |
Besides she bitches about the mosquitoes | |
She says, 'Down there there is nothing to do' | |
Her goddamn phone never stops ringin' | |
He'll try the service in a day maybe two | |
Well he's on his third drink before the wheels of the plane leave the ground | |
Makin' points with the stewardess high over Long Island Sound | |
She's also spending some time on the island | |
Too much city madness gives her the blues | |
They make a date to go dancin' and dinin' | |
It seems neither has that much to lose | |
Chorus: | |
The weather is here I wish you were beautiful | |
My thoughts aren't too clear but don't run away | |
My girlfriend's a bore, my job is too dutiful | |
Hell nobody's perfect would you like to play? | |
I feel together today | |
Well now that's just the start of a well-deserved overdue binge | |
Meanwhile back in the city certain people are starting to cringe | |
His lawyers are calling his parents | |
His girlfriend doesn't know what to think | |
His partners are studying their options | |
He's just singin' and orderin' drinks | |
Chorus: | |
The weather is here I wish you were beautiful | |
The skies are too clear life's so easy today | |
The beer is too cold, the daiquiri's too fruitiful | |
No place like home when you're this far away | |
I don't care what they say (I don't care) | |
He's goin' back to New York pack it up and let everyone know | |
It was something that he should have done such a long time ago | |
Still time to start a new life in the palm trees | |
Ah, Billy Clyde wasn't insane | |
And if it doesn't work out there'll never be any doubt | |
That the pleasure was worth all the pain | |
Chorus: | |
The weather is here I wish you were beautiful | |
The skies are too clear life's so easy today | |
The beer is too cold, the daiquiri's too fruitiful | |
No place like home when you're this far away | |
Time for to play | |
I need time for to play | |
Time for to play | |
I need time for to play | |
I need time for to play | |
I need time for to play | |
I need time for to play | |
I need time for to play | |
I need time for to play | |
