Lyrics:Jimmy Buffett Music:Jimmy Buffett | |
For Ed Polock | |
I was supposed to have been a Jesuit priest or a Naval Academy grad | |
That was the way that my parents perceived me | |
Those were the plans that they had | |
But I couldn't fit the part too dumb or too smart | |
Ain't it funny how we all turned out | |
I guess we are the people our parents warned us about | |
You know I coulda worked the rigs when the money was big | |
Or hopped a freighter south to Trinidad | |
And when they tried to draft me I earned a college degree | |
Buyin' time 'til things were not so bad | |
But then I got a guitar found a job in a bar | |
Playin' acid rock 'til I was numb | |
Tell me where are the flashbacks they all warned us would come | |
Chorus: | |
We are the people, they couldn't figure out | |
We are the people our parents warned us about | |
Hey hey, Gardner McKay | |
Take us on the Leaky Tiki with you | |
Clear skies bound for Shanghai | |
Sailing cross the ocean blue (do do do dooo) | |
So blue (do do do dooo OOOH) | |
(do do do dooo) | |
(do do do dooo OOOH) | |
Now I got quarters in my loafers tryin' to fight inflation | |
When it only used to take a cent | |
Sometimes I wish I was back in my crashpad days | |
'Fore I knew what cash flow meant | |
Seems everybody's joggin' or heavy into health shit | |
Don't tell me that I ought to get rolfed | |
'Cause I love cajun martinis and playin' afternoon golf | |
Chorus: | |
We are the people there isn't any doubt | |
We are the people they still can't figure out | |
We are the people who love to sing 'Twist and Shout' | |
SHAKE IT UP BABY | |
We are the people our parents warned us about (do do do dooo) | |
Id'n' any doubt (do do do dooo OOOH) | |
Hey hey hey (do do do dooo) | |
Gardner McKay (do do do dooo, Gardner McKay) | |
(do do do dooo) | |
I wanna sail away today (do do do dooo OOOH) | |
Isn't any doubt (do do do dooo) | |
They warned us about (do do do dooo OOOH) | |
Hey hey hey (do do do dooo) | |
C'mon now Gardner McKay (do do do dooo OOOH) | |
I wanna sail away today | |
