1978
4
She said I can't go back to america soon
5
So goddamn cold it's gonna snow until june
6
Yeah, they're freezin' up in buffalo stuck in their cars
7
And I'm lyin' here 'neath the sun and the stars
8
Customs man tells her that she's gotta leave
9
She's got a plan hidden up her shrewd sleeve
10
Wants to find her a captain, a man of strong mind
11
And any direction he blows will be fine
12
Chorus:
13
Please don't say manana if you don't mean it
14
I have heard those words for so very long
15
Don't try to describe the ocean if you've never seen it
16
Don't ever forget that you just may wind up being wrong
17
Tried and I tried but I don't understand
18
Never seemed to work out the way I had it planned
19
Hangin' out at a marina when steve martin called
20
Singin' anybody there really want to get small
21
But women and water are in short supply
22
There's not enough dope for us all to get high
23
I hear it gets better, that's what they say
24
As soon as we sail on to cane garden bay
25
Chorus:
26
Please don't say manana if you don't mean it
27
I have heard your lines for so very long
28
Don't try to describe the scenery if you've never seen it
29
Don't ever forget that you just may wind up in my song
30
-- spoken: "alright let's reggae reefers!"
31
Called all my friends on those cheap nightly rates
32
Sure was good to talk to the old united states
33
While the lights of st. thomas lie twenty miles west
34
I see general electric's still doing their best
35
I got to head this boat south pretty soon
36
New album's old and I'm fresh out of tunes
37
But I know that I'll get 'em, I know that they'll come
38
Through the people and places and caldwoods rum
39
Chorus:
40
So please don't say manana if you don't mean it (don't mean it)
41
I have done your lines for so very long
42
Don't try to describe a kiss concert if you've never seen it
43
Don't ever forget that you just may wind up being gonged
44
Coda:
45
And I hope anita bryant never ever does one of my songs
46
No no no
