OFF TO SEE THE LIZARD
Jimmy Buffett
(Buffett/Oliver)
1989 MCA Records
[Intro]
      G                    C                 G
I was raised by a maid who came from Martini que
                                    D                G
She wore geckos around her neck and bracelets on her feet
                               C             G
A superstitious woman from the land of sugar cane
                              D                G
She'd sing the sun to bed and dance out in the rain
C          D          C         D      G    D G
Dance out, dance out, dance out in the rain
                                       C        G
She'd excite us with a legend that the Africans told
                               D         G
About a red iguanna who turned lava into gold
                                 C           G
We'd mount an expedition heading up into the bay
                               D              G
Superstitious children playing pirate for the day

     C         G/B      D        G
What works for me might work for you
                              C                G
Being rich an famous seems to have its ups and downs
                                       D               G
But that's the price you pay for being troubadours and clowns
                           C          G
Godzilla's halitosis it be vaporizing cars
                        D            G
Elvis up in Michigan or maybe out on Mars
C          D          C         D      G
Dance out, dance out, dance out to the stars
                              C             G
But living in the briar patch ain't what it appears
                       D                G
Sooner or later you've got to face your fears
                                 C             G
I heard it from the parrot verba lizing in the tree
                               D      G
I heard in the songline of the aborig ine

Love a wealthy woman and the pretty plane she flys

Dancing, dancing, dancing through my eyes

I'm turning off the waterfall the tourists can go home
                              D               G
I feel it time to travel take time to write a poem
                              C           G
Time to seek some therapy I'm going walka bout
