Whats Your Favorite Jimmy Buffett Song

We sang along to the lyrics that he wrote Dancing and swaying to the music he composed They’re all great in there own way Let’s go back in time to that day Where were you when you heard your favorite Buffett song Was it in a bar, on a beach or a boat Middle of the pool sitting on a float Making music for money behind door number three Did ya see the crazy woman down on Carolina street On your way to Paris or a slow boat to china From the Bama breeze to the coast of Carolina Who’s the blonde stranger with the tin cup chalice And who are the gypsy’s staying in the palace Trying to reason with hurricane season Summer to Christmas in the Caribbean Sitting in a hotel room daydreaming of Havana Did you have to be there at the Fox in Atlanta Maybe you were drinking boat drinks down around Biloxi Or baking fruitcakes during the peanut butter conspiracy Whether it’s the far side of the world with your little miss magic girl Or one particular harbor seeking oysters and pearls I found my cheeseburger in paradise Heard the Jolly mon sing It wasn’t just another Saturday night Cause come Monday We changed our attitudes and latitudes It was time for a lovely cruise They’re all songs you know by heart If you have your license to chill Follow the parrot heads to Margaritaville We’ll miss him so badly And when the coast is clear We’ll wonder why we ever go home So if you’re somewhere over china Having some trauma in Tampico There is a party at the end of the world As we say goodbye to the Son of a son of a sailor Remember If the phone doesn’t ring, it’s him
