Jimmy Buffett - Manana lyrics
Manana<br>By: jimmy buffett<br>1978<br>She said I can't go back to america soon<br>So goddamn cold it's gonna snow until june<br>Yeah, they're freezin' up in buffalo stuck in their cars<br>And I'm lyin' here 'neath the sun and the stars<br><br>Customs man tells her that she's gotta leave<br>She's got a plan hidden up her shrewd sleeve<br>Wants to find her a captain, a man of strong mind<br>And any direction he blows will be fine<br><br>Chorus:<br>Please don't say manana if you don't mean it<br>I have heard those words for so very long<br>Don't try to describe the ocean if you've never seen it<br>Don't ever forget that you just may wind up being wrong<br><br>Tried and I tried but I don't understand<br>Never seemed to work out the way I had it planned<br>Hangin' out at a marina when steve martin called<br>Singin' anybody there really want to get small<br><br>But women and water are in short supply<br>There's not enough dope for us all to get high<br>I hear it gets better, that's what they say<br>As soon as we sail on to cane garden bay<br><br>Chorus:<br>Please don't say manana if you don't mean it<br>I have heard your lines for so very long<br>Don't try to describe the scenery if you've never seen it<br>Don't ever forget that you just may wind up in my song<br><br>-- spoken: alright let's reggae reefers!<br><br>Called all my friends on those cheap nightly rates<br>Sure was good to talk to the old united states<br>While the lights of st. thomas lie twenty miles west<br>I see general electric's still doing their best<br><br>I got to head this boat south pretty soon<br>New album's old and I'm fresh out of tunes<br>But I know that I'll get 'em, I know that they'll come<br>Through the people and places and caldwoods rum<br><br>Chorus:<br>So please don't say manana if you don't mean it (don't mean it)<br>I have done your lines for so very long<br>Don't try to describe a kiss concert if you've never seen it<br>Don't ever forget that you just may wind up being gonged<br><br>Coda:<br>And I hope anita bryant never ever does one of my songs<br>No no no
