Lyrics:Jimmy Buffett Music:Jimmy Buffett | |
I would like to thank J.D. Souther for the book, Harry Belafonte for the early inspiration and Mark Twain for taking the trip long ago. | |
Spoken: | |
'Back toward the turn of the century, you know, Mark Twain took a trip around the world on a steamship and he wrote a book called 'Following the Equator'. And the opening page has a dedication that says, 'Be good, and you will be lonesome,' which for me, still seems to work in the fabulous eighties.' | |
Jason Mason hears the sound | |
The whistle blows in Congo town | |
And the mail boat's in, mail boat's in | |
Brings him things from oh so far | |
Old magazines and Snicker bars | |
A simple man, a simple plan | |
The world's too big to understand | |
Chorus: | |
Be good and you will be lonesome | |
Be lonesome and you will be free | |
Live a lie and you will live to regret it | |
That's what livin' is to me | |
That's what livin' is to me | |
On a timeless beach in Hispaniola | |
Young girl sips a diet cola | |
She's worlds apart, worlds apart | |
Spirit of the black king still | |
Reverberates through Haitian hills | |
He rules the sea and all the fish | |
What if he had a TV dish? | |
Chorus: | |
Be good and you will be lonesome | |
Be lonesome and you will be free | |
Live a lie and you will live to regret it | |
That's what livin' is to me | |
That's what livin' is to me | |
Now in the far off regions the foreign legion | |
Keep the thieves and the predators at bay | |
While closer to home some bad boys still roam | |
The streets aren't safe so give it one more day | |
One more day | |
One more day | |
Stories from my favorite books | |
Still take on many different looks | |
And I'm gone again, home again | |
The time has come the walrus said | |
And little oysters hide their head | |
My Twain of thought is loosely bound | |
I guess it's time to Mark this down | |
Chorus: | |
Be good and you will be lonesome | |
Be lonesome and you will be free | |
Live a lie and you will live to regret it | |
That's what livin' is to me | |
That's what livin' is to me | |
That's what livin' is to me | |
That's what livin' is to me | |
Spoken: | |
'Thank you, Mark.' |
