Islamorada

My body was broken
I couldn’t go swim with the dolphins
Manny the cat came
‘Cause rats were gnawing through the screen
Potters and baker
And musical makers
And hookers are the four
Oldest professions
Head it somewhere by the shore

Islamorada
Islamorada
Come down here
I mean you really probably oughta
Next time I come, I’ll bring my wife and my daugher
Islamorada
Islamorada

Don’t wait until you think you’ve got enough money
Don’t wait until you think you’ve got enough strength
The dogs and the cats get along
Guanabana fruit so delicious
What I craved for so long
And I didn’t know it

Islamorada
Islamorada
Come down here
I mean you really probably oughta
Next time I come, I’ll bring my wife and my daughter
Islamorada
Islamorada

Dr, Bernie
Midnight house calls
Jokes and rubber gloves
And wine ’til half past three
Wake up the bumblebees
Doctor’s wish, no dolphin swimming
So, let’s glaze some bowls
I’ve waited one whole year
It’s like I was always here

Billion and one little shells
Stretching out at your feet
Later, we’ll fire up that Indian oven
Ryan fix us something to eat
Bars and cigars and my red rental car
Palm tress twisting in the rain
Clouds gray
What was I sayin
Where am I again

Islamorada
Islamorada
Come down here
I mean you really probably oughta
Next time I come, I’ll bring my wife and my daughter
Islamorada
Islamorada
