Manana

By: jimmy buffett

1978

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
