| Lyrics:Jimmy Buffett Music:Jimmy Buffett | |
| She said I can't go back to America soon | |
| So goddamn cold it's gonna snow until June | |
| Yeah, they're freezin' up in Buffalo stuck in their cars | |
| And I'm lyin' here 'neath the sun and the stars | |
| Customs man tells her that she's gotta leave | |
| She's got a plan hidden up her shrewd sleeve | |
| Wants to find her a captain, a man of strong mind | |
| And any direction he blows will be fine | |
| Chorus: | |
| Please don't say manana if you don't mean it | |
| I have heard those words for so very long | |
| Don't try to describe the ocean if you've never seen it | |
| Don't ever forget that you just may wind up being wrong | |
| Tried and I tried but I don't understand | |
| Never seemed to work out the way I had it planned | |
| Hangin' out at a marina when Steve Martin called | |
| Singin' anybody there really want to get small | |
| But women and water are in short supply | |
| There's not enough dope for us all to get high | |
| I hear it gets better, that's what they say | |
| As soon as we sail on to Cane Garden Bay | |
| Chorus: | |
| Please don't say manana if you don't mean it | |
| I have heard your lines for so very long | |
| Don't try to describe the scenery if you've never seen it | |
| Don't ever forget that you just may wind up in my song | |
| Spoken: 'Alright let's reggae reefers!' | |
| Called all my friends on those cheap nightly rates | |
| Sure was good to talk to the old United States | |
| While the lights of St. Thomas lie twenty miles west | |
| I see General Electric's still doing their best | |
| I got to head this boat south pretty soon | |
| New album's old and I'm fresh out of tunes | |
| But I know that I'll get 'em, I know that they'll come | |
| Through the people and places and Caldwoods Rum | |
| Chorus: | |
| So please don't say manana if you don't mean it (don't mean it) | |
| I have done your lines for so very long | |
| Don't try to describe a Kiss concert if you've never seen it | |
| Don't ever forget that you just may wind up being gonged | |
| Coda: | |
| And I hope Anita Bryant never ever does one of my songs | |
| No no no |
