Carey

The wind is in from Africa, 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've got beach tar on my feet

And I miss my clean white linen and my fancy French cologneOh Carey get out your cane

And I'll put on some silver

Oh you're a mean old Daddy but I like you, fineCome on down to the Mermaid Cafe

And I will buy you a bottle of wine

And we'll laugh and toast to nothing

And smash our empty glasses downLet's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers

A round for these friends of mine

Let's have another round for the bright red devil

Who keeps me in this tourist townCome on Carey get out your cane

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 youMaybe I'll go to Amsterdam, or maybe I'll go to Rome

And rent me a grand piano and put some flowers 'round my room

But let's not talk about fare-thee-welIs now, the night is a starry dome

And they're playin' that scratchy rock and roll

Beneath the Mantle of the moonCome on, Carey, get out your cane

And I'll put on some silver

You're a mean old Daddy, but I like youThe wind is in from Africa and 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

And that fancy French cologneOh Carey get out your cane

I'll put on my finest silver

We'll go to the Mermaid Cafe, have fun tonight

I said, "Oh, you're a mean old Daddy, but you're out of sight"
