Altered Boy Lyrics


Jimmy Buffett, Wayne JobsonOh no, he's buying an island
Oh no, he's building a boat
Why does he never stop smiling?
Fun surrounds him like a deep moatWhere does he get all those stories?
How can he tell such a lie?
He's bound to see purgatory
His views are in short supplyBut Peter Pan would understand
His schemes and dreams and ploys
Best keep an eye on his slight hand
He such an altered boyGood God, he's talking with parrots
Painting his dreams in the sand
Piling up beaucoup demerits
Doing it just 'cause he canBy Jove he's having a cocoa
Evading those judgemental eyes
Calmly walking his tight rope
High above all the outcriesBut Peter Pan would understand
His schemes and dreams and ploys
Best keep an eye on his slight hand

He such an altered boyThe story goes
he stumbled at the alter
Now it seems he just blasphemes
And dwells with dangers daughterSomeone call the talking doctor
Somebody get a SWAT team
There he sits getting away with
murder
How dare him live out his dreamsBut Peter Pan would understand
His schemes and dreams and ploys
Best keep an eye on his slight hand
He such an altered boyOh no, he's sailing today
Oh no, beware Paraguay
Oh no, anchors aweigh
Oh no

Jimmy Buffett (born December 25, 1946 in Pascagoula, Mississippi, United States) is a singer/songwriter, best known for his "island escapism" lifestyle and music including hits such as "Margaritaville" and "Come Monday". He has a rabid, but genial, cult following known as "Parrotheads." They call the youngest members "Parakeets."

Buffett has written three No. 1 best sellers. Tales from Margaritaville and Where Is Joe Merchant? both spent over seven months on the New York Times Best Seller fiction list. His book A Pirate Looks At Fifty went straight to No. 1 on the New York Times Bestseller non-fiction list, making him one of seven authors in that list's history to have reached No. 1 on both the fiction and non-fiction lists. The other six authors who have accomplished this are Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, William Styron, Irving Wallace, Dr. Seuss and Mitch Albom. He also co-wrote two children's books, Jolly Mon and Trouble Dolls, with his eldest daughter, Savannah Jane Buffett.

"A Salty Piece of Land", was released on November 30, 2004, and included a CD single of the same title. The book was a New York Times best seller soon after its release.

His latest book, "Swine Not," hit bookshelves on May 13th. It's a colorful tale about a family that lives in a posh New York hotel while covertly smuggling in their pet pig named Rumpy.

On Jan 25, 2011, he did an unintentional stage dive whilst touring Australia. Thankfully, the good Mr. Buffett is a resilient bloke and was released from hospital the following day and doing fine.
