lyrics

I Wanna Be Jimmy Buffett words & music Bobby Valentine © 2010

Well I was Holding up the bar, with a warm, flat beer
Wonderin’ how my life got from... well...Nowhere to here
When somethin’ on the jukebox started tuggin’ at my ear
& friends, the path to my salvation
Well, it became, crystally clear
(I hear Key West Florida is humming this time of the year)

1. I wanna write me a song & drink a Pina Colada
I want to hang out at the beach every day
I wanna sail on the ocean, just chasing the breeze
If life is a game I’m just itchin’ to play

2. Well I could sing up a storm, I could spell ‘Margarita’
I’d be living in the U.S. of A.
If the World’s just a toy, then I’m just your boy
I could be ready to start right away
CH
I wanna be Jimmy Buffett, I’m willing to sacrifice
I wanna be Jimmy Buffett, I’ll happily pay the price
& if I was Jimmy Buffett
Well I’d be happy for the rest of my life
Cos everyone would love me
& all I’d ever do is just Roll around in Paradise

3. I’d know cooking in creole, be fluent in Gumbo
& conversant in the seven deadly sins
I’d be painting the sky, in the sweet by & by
To the sound of steel drums & mandolins
CH
MID
A rising barometer, a temperate thermometer
We’re heading out on Biscayne Bay
A freshening breeze taking me where I please
I could get very used to living this way
SOLO
4. With a bank of bad habits, a pencil thin moustache
& a cozy little beach house on the moon
I’d have changes in attitudes from changes in latitudes
For me it can’t happen too soon
CH
