I went down to Captain Tony's | |
To get out of the heat | |
I heard a voice call out to me | |
Son come have a seat | |
I had to search my memories | |
As I looked into those eyes | |
Our lives change like the weather | |
But a legend never dies | |
Chorus: | |
He said I ate the last mango in Paris | |
Took the last plane out of Saigon | |
I took the first fast boat to China | |
And Jimmy there's still so much to be done | |
I had a third world girl in Buzios | |
With a pistol in each hand | |
She always kept me covered | |
As we moved from land to land | |
I had a damn good run on Wall Street | |
With my high fashion model wife | |
Woke up dry beneath the African sky | |
Just me and my Swiss Army knife | |
Chorus: | |
I ate the last mango in Paris | |
Took the last plane out of Saigon | |
I took the first fast boat to China | |
And Jimmy there's still so much to be done | |
We shot the breeze for hours | |
As the sun fell from the sky | |
And like the sun he disappeared | |
Before my very eyes | |
It was somewhere past dark-thirty | |
As we went back to the head | |
I read upon the dingy wall | |
The words the old man said | |
He said I ate the last mango in Paris | |
Took the last plane out of Saigon | |
I took the first fast boat to China | |
And Jimmy there's still so much to be done | |
I ate the last mango in Paris | |
Took the last plane out of Saigon | |
I took the first fast boat to China | |
And Jimmy there's still so much to be done | |
That's why we wander and follow La Vie Dansante | |
'De ja vu, to you. Yes I have been here before. We'll do this song for all of you people who've been here before for all these years. That's what makes it all happen. I have never ever won an award for any music that I've written, but I don't really care when I have fans like parrotheads. Reward enough.' |
