OFF TO SEE THE LIZARD
Jimmy Buffett
(Buffett/Oliver)
1989 MCA Records
[Intro]
I was Graised by a maid who Ccame from Martini Gque
She wore geckos around her neck and Dbracelets on her Gfeet
A superstitious woman from the Cland of sugar Gcane
She'd sing the sun to bed and Ddance out in the Grain
CDance out, Ddance out, Cdance out Din the GrainD  G  
She'd excite us with a legend that the CAfricans Gtold
About a red iguanna who turned Dlava into Ggold
We'd mount an expedition heading Cup into the Gbay
Superstitious children playing Dpirate for the Gday
COff to see the lizard
GOff to see the lizard
CDeja deja Ddeja Gvu
Be Clieve it G/Band it Dwill come Gtrue
CVeja veja Dveja Emdu
What Cworks for G/Bme might Dwork for Gyou
Being rich an famous seems to Chave its ups and Gdowns
But that's the price you pay for being Dtroubadours and Gclowns
Godzilla's halitosis it be Cvaporizing Gcars
Elvis up in Michigan or Dmaybe out on GMars
CDance out, Ddance out, Cdance out Dto the Gstars
But living in the briar patch Cain't what it Gappears
Sooner or later you've Dgot to face your Gfears
I heard it from the parrot verba Clizing in the Gtree
I heard in the songline of the Daborig Gine
COff to see the lizard
GOff to see the lizard
CDeja deja Ddeja Gvu
Be Clieve it G/Band it Dwill come Gtrue
CVeja veja Dveja Emdu
What Cworks for G/Bme might Dwork for Gyou
Does it Gwork for me? C(yeah, yeah)
Will it Gwork for you? C(yeah, yeah)
If you be Glieve it will C(yeah, yeah)
It Gwill come true C(yeah, yeah)
I got Gproblems with my brain Cunderneath my Gcurls
Problems with Loraine and Dall the other Ggirls
Love a wealthy woman and the Cpretty plane she Gflys
If you think this sounds confusing you should Dsee it through my Geyes
CDancing, Ddancing, Cdancing Dthrough my Geyes
I'm turning off the waterfall the Ctourists can go Ghome
I feel it time to travel take Dtime to write a Gpoem
Time to seek some therapy I'm Cgoing walka Gbout
Answers are the easy part, Dquestions raise the Gdoubt
COff to see the lizard
GOff to see the lizard
CDeja deja Ddeja Gvu
Be Clieve it G/Band it Dwill come Gtrue
CVeja veja Dveja Emdu
What Cworks for G/Bme might Dwork for Gyou
CDeja deja Ddeja Gvu
Be Clieve it G/Band it Dwill come Gtrue
