She said I can't go back to America soon
So g______ cold it's gonna snow until June
Yeah, they're freezing up in Buffalo stuck in their cars
And I'm lyin here 'neath the sun and the stars

Customs man tells her that she's gotta leave
She's got a plan hidden up her shrewd sleeve
Wants to find her a captain, a man of strong mind
And any direction he blows will be fine

Please don't say manana if you don't mean it
I have heard those words for so very long
Don't try to describe the ocean if you've never seen it
Don't ever forget that you just may wind up being wrong

Tried and I tried but I don't understand
Never seemed to work out the way I had it planned
Hangin' out in a marina when Steve Martin called
Singin' anybody there really want to get small

Women and water are in short supply
Not enough dope for us all to get high
I hear it gets better, that's what they say
As soon as we sail on to cane garden bay

Please don't say manana if you dont mean it
I have heard your lines for so very long
Don't try to describe the scenery if you've never seen it
Don't ever forget that you just may wind up in my song

Called all my friends on those cheap nightly rates
Sure was good to talk to the old United States
While the lights of St. Thomas lie twenty miles west
I see General Electric is still doing their best

I got to head this boat south pretty soon
New albums old and I'm fresh out of tunes
But I know that I'll get them, I know that they'll come
Through the people and places and caldwoods rum

Please don't say manana if you dont mean it (dont mean it)
I have done your lines for so very long
Don't try to describe a kiss concert if you've never seen it
Don't ever forget that you just may wind up being gonged

And I hope Anita Bryant never ever does one of my songs
No no no
