Off to See the Lizard
---------------------
by Jimmy Buffett


I raised by a maid who came from Martinique
She wore geckos 'round her neck and braclets on her feet
A superstitious woman from the land of sugar cane
She sung the sun to bed and danced out in the rain
Danced out, danced out, danced out in the rain

She'd excite us with a legeond the Africans had told
About a red iguana who turned lava into gold
We'd mount an expidition heading out into the bay
Superstitious children playing Pirate for a day

Off to see the Lizard
Off to see the Lizard
Deja, deja, deja vu
Believe it and it will come true
Veja, veja, veja du
What works for me might work for you

Being rich and famous has its ups and downs
But that's the price you pay for being trubadores and clowns
Godzilla's halatosis is vaporizing cars
Elvis up in Michigan or maybe out on Mars
Dance out, dance out, dance out to the stars

But living in the briar patch ain't what it appears
Sooner or later you've got to face your fears
I heard it from a parot verbalizing in a tree
I heard it in the sonline of the Aborigine

Off to see the Lizard
Off to see the Lizard
Deja, deja, deja vu
Believe it and it will come true
Veja, veja, veja du
What works for me might work for you

Will it work for me (yeah, yeah)
Will it work for you (yeah, yeah)
Believe it will (yeah, yeah)
It will come true

I've troubles wif my brain underneath my curls
Troubles wif Loraine and all the other girls
Love a wealthy woman and the pretty plane she flies
If you think this sounds confusing you should see it through my eyes
Daning, dancing, dancing through my eyes

I'm turning off the waterfall, the tourists can go home
I think it's time to travel, time to write a poem
Time to get some therapy I'm going walk about
The answers are the easy part the questions raise the doubt

Off to see the Lizard
Off to see the Lizard
Deja, deja, deja vu
Believe it and it will come true
Veja, veja, veja du
What works for me might work for you!
