1
The wind is in from Africa
2
Last night I couldn't sleep
3
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here Carey
4
But it's really not my home
5
My fingernails are filthy
6
I've got beach tar on my feet
7
And I miss my clean white linen and my fancy French cologne
8
Oh Carey get out your cane (Carey get out your cane)
9
And I'll put on some silver (I'll put on some silver)
10
Oh you're a mean old Daddy, but I like you fine
11
Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe
12
And I will buy you a bottle of wine
13
And we'll laugh and toast to nothing and
14
Smash our empty glasses down
15
Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
16
A round for these friends of mine
17
Let's have another round for the bright red devil, who
18
Keeps me in this tourist town
19
Come on Carey get out your cane (Carey get out your cane)
20
And I'll put on some silver (I'll put on some silver)
21
Oh you're a mean old Daddy, but I like you
22
I like you, I like you, I like you
23
Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam
24
Or maybe I'll go to Rome
25
And rent me a grand piano and put some flowers 'round my room
26
But let's not talk about fare-thee-wells now
27
The night is a starry dome
28
And they're playin' that scratchy rock and roll
29
Beneath the Matalla Moon
30
Come on Carey get out your cane (Carey get out your cane)
31
And I'll put on some silver (I'll put on some silver)
32
You're a mean old Daddy, but I like you
33
The wind is in from Africa
34
Last night I couldn't sleep
35
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here, but it's
36
Really not my home
37
Maybe it's been too long a time since I was
38
Scramblin' down in the street
39
Now they got me used to that clean white linen and that
40
Fancy French cologne
41
Oh Carey, get out your cane (Carey get out your cane)
42
I'll put on my finest silver (I'll put on some silver)
43
We'll go to the Mermaid Cafe, have fun tonight
44
I said, oh, you're a mean old Daddy, but you're out of sight
