[al:]
[00:40.64] The wind is in from Africa
[00:44.13] Last night I couldn't sleep
[00:46.91] You know it sure is hard to leave here Carey
[00:50.71] It's really not my home
[00:54.19] My fingernails are filthy
[00:57.02] I got beach tar on my feet
[01:00.41] And I miss my clean white linen
[01:03.90] And my fancy French cologne
[01:07.23] Oh Carey get out your cane
[01:10.87] And I'll put on some silver
[01:14.57] Oh you're a mean old daddy
[01:17.25] But I like you
[01:21.59] Down to the Mermaid Cafe
[01:24.22] I will buy you a bottle of wine
[01:27.89] We'll laugh and toast to nothing
[01:31.33] And smash our empty glasses down
[01:34.67] Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
[01:38.56] A round for these friends of mine
[01:41.58] Let's have another round for the bright red devil
[01:45.12] Who keeps me in this tourist town
[01:48.42] Oh Carey get out your cane
[01:52.31] And I'll put on some silver
[01:55.94] Oh you're a mean old daddy
[01:58.48] But I like you
[02:02.98] Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam
[02:06.16] Maybe I'll go to Rome
[02:09.24] And rent me a grand piano
[02:12.43] And put some flowers 'round my room
[02:16.54] But let's not talk about fare-thee-wells now
[02:19.97] The night is a starry dome
[02:22.84] And they're playin' that scratchy rock & roll
[02:26.69] Beneath the matalla moon
[02:30.29] Come on Carey get out your cane
[02:33.63] And I'll put on some silver
[02:37.22] Oh you're a mean old daddy
[02:39.75] But I like you,just fine
[03:45.30] The wind is in from Africa
[03:48.54] Last night I couldn't sleep
[03:51.36] You know it sure is hard to leave here Carey
[03:55.25] But it's really not my home
[03:59.20] Maybe it's been too long a time
[04:01.92] Since I was scramblin' down in the streets
[04:05.72] They got me used to that clean white linen
[04:09.15] And that fancy French cologne
[04:12.85] Come on Carey get out your cane
[04:16.52] And I'll put on some silver
[04:20.06] Down to the Mermaid Cafe
[04:22.84] Have fun tonight
[04:26.28] I said Oh you're a mean old daddy
[04:30.37] But you're out of sight
[04:38.41] Carey get out your cane
