Last Mango In Paris

By: Jimmy Buffett, Marshall Chapman, Will Jennings, Michael Utley

1985

"For all the living legends I've had the pleasure to know. There's
5
still so much to be done."
6
I went down to Captain Tony's
7
To get out of the heat
8
Then I heard a voice call out to me
9
"Son come have a seat"
10
I had to search my memory
11
As I looked into those eyes
12
Our lives change like the weather
13
But a legend never dies
14
Chorus:
15
He said I ate the last mango in Paris
16
Took the last plane out of Saigon
17
Took the first fast boat to China
18
And Jimmy there's still so much to be done
19
I had a third world girl in Buzios
20
With a pistol in each hand
21
She always kept me covered
22
As we moved from land to land
23
I had a damn good run on Wall Street
24
With my high fashion model wife
25
I woke up dry beneath the African sky
26
Just me and my Swiss Army knife
27
Chorus:
28
I ate the last mango in Paris
29
Took the last plane out of Saigon
30
Took the first fast boat to China
31
And Jimmy there's still so much to be done
32
We shot the breeze for hours
33
As the sun fell from the sky
34
And like the sun he disappeared
35
Before my very eyes
36
It was somewhere past dark-thirty
37
And I went back to the head
38
I read upon the dingy wall
39
The words the old man said:
40
I ate the last mango in Paris
41
Took the last plane out of Saigon
42
Took the first fast boat to China
43
And Jimmy there's still so much to be done
44
I ate the last mango in Paris
45
Took the last plane out of Saigon
46
Took the first fast boat to China
47
And Jimmy there's still so much to be done
48
That's why we wander and follow La Vie Dansante
