歌曲 | Banana Republics |
歌手 | Jimmy Buffett |
专辑 | All The Great Hits |
Written:Steve Goodman/Jim Rothermel/Steve Burgh | |
Down to the Banana Republics, down to the tropical sun | |
Go the expatriated Americans, hopin' to find some fun | |
Some of them go for the sailing, caught by the lure of the sea | |
Tryin' to find what is ailing, livin' in the land of the free | |
Some of them are running from lovers, leaving no foreward address | |
Some of them are running tons of ganja | |
Some are running from the I.R.S. | |
Chorus: | |
Late at night you will find them | |
In the cheap hotels and bars | |
Hustling the senioritas while they dance beneath the stars | |
Spending those renegade pesos on a bottle of rum and a lime | |
Singin' give me some words I can dance to | |
Or a melody that rhymes | |
First you learn the native customs | |
soon a word of spanish or two | |
You know that you cannot trust them | |
'Cause they know they can't trust you | |
Expatriated Americans feelin' so all alone | |
Telling themselves the same lies | |
That they told themselves back home | |
Down to the Banana Republics, things aren't as warm as they seem | |
None of the natives are buying any second-hand American dreams | |
Chorus: | |
Late at night you will find them | |
In the cheap hotels and bars | |
Hustling the senioritas while they dance beneath the stars | |
Spending those renegade pesos on a bottle of rum and a lime | |
Singin' give me some words I can dance to | |
Or a melody that rhymes | |
Down to the Banana Republics, down to the tropical sun | |
Go the expatriated Americans hopin' to find some fun |
