The wind is in from Africa
Last night I couldn't sleep
You know it's really hard to leave here
But it's really not my home
My fingernails are filthy
I got beach tar on my feet
Oh, you know I miss my clean white linen and my fancy French cologne
Carey, get out your cane
And I'll put on my silver
Oh, you're a mean old daddy, but I like you
Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe
I will buy you a bottle of wine
And we'll laugh and toast to nothing
And smash our empty glasses down
Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
Let's have a round for these friends of mine
Let's have a round for the bright red devil
Who keeps me in this tourist town
Come on, Carey, get out your cane
And I'll put on my silver
Oh, you're a mean old daddy, but I like you
I like you, I like you, I like you
Last night I couldn't sleep
You know it's really hard to leave here
But it's really not my home
My fingernails are filthy
I got beach tar on my feet
Oh, you know I miss my clean white linen and my fancy French cologne
Carey, get out your cane
And I'll put on my silver
Oh, you're a mean old daddy, but I like you
Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe
I will buy you a bottle of wine
And we'll laugh and toast to nothing
And smash our empty glasses down
Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
Let's have a round for these friends of mine
Let's have a round for the bright red devil
Who keeps me in this tourist town
Come on, Carey, get out your cane
And I'll put on my silver
Oh, you're a mean old daddy, but I like you
I like you, I like you, I like you
