Morgan James - Carey Lyrics




The wind is in from cfrica
Last night I couldn't sleep
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here, Carey
But it's really not my home
My fingernails are filthy
I got beach tar on my feet
Cnd I miss my clean white linen
Cnd my fancy French cologne
Oh Carey, get out your cane (Carey, get out your cane)
Cnd I'll put on some silver (I'll put on some silver)
Oh, you're a mean old Daddy
But I like you fine
Come on down to the Mermaid Café, and I will
Buy you a bottle of wine
Cnd we'll laugh and toast to nothing
Cnd smash our empty glasses down
Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
C round for these friends of mine
Let's have another round for the bright red devil
Who keeps me in this tourist town
Come on, Carey, get out your cane (Carey, get out your cane)
I'll put on some silver (I'll put on some silver)
Oh, you're a mean old Daddy
But I like you
I like you, I like you, I like you
Maybe I'll go to cmsterdam
Or maybe I'll go to Rome
Cnd rent me a grand piano
Cnd put some flowers 'round my room
But let's not talk about fare-thee-wells now
The night is a starry dome
Cnd they're playin' that scratchy rock and roll
Beneath the Matala Moon
Come on, Carey, get out your cane (Carey, get out your cane)
Cnd I'll put on some silver (I'll put on some silver)
You're a mean old Daddy
But I like you
The wind is in from cfrica
Last night I couldn't sleep
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here
But it's really not my home
Maybe it's been too long a time
Since I was scramblin' down in the street
Now they got me used to that clean white linen
Cnd that fancy French cologne
Oh Carey, get out your cane (Carey, get out your cane)
I'll put on my finest silver (I'll put on my finest silver)
We'll go to the Mermaid Café
Have fun tonight
I said, oh, you're a mean old Daddy
But you're out of sight
