Lyrics

CheeseSliders In Paradise

(addendum to Jimmy Buffett's Cheeseburger In Paradise)

I pulled into the drive thru………….for that late night specialty

    I've been drinkin' all night…barely avoided a fight

         I'm as hungry as a man can be

A voice said "Sir...can I help you?"  I said, "well lady if you're talkin' to me,

    then give me…twenty-seven White Castles..Hey!  Cover them all with CHEESE."

A White Castle is paradise…but you better prepare to pay the price

    'cause you'll be fartin' all night and they don't smell nice...Hell No!!

         a White Castle is paradise.

Well I like mine with those holes cut in the middle

    chopped up onions sauteed on the griddle

A cheap ass pickle on a soggy bun..

    well goo God Almighty always gives me the runs!

A White Castle is paradise…it's a craving that comes in the middle of the night

  only 49 cents…you can't beat the price…

         White Castle is paradise.

Curse of the Music Man

I headed off to college,   earned my degree

    found a better way to make a buck,   that appealed a little more to me.

It'll never make me famous,   a'int ever gonna see my name in lights.

    So clap your hands and get real loud..  sing along with me tonight.

I'll never be the CEO momma wanted me to be

    my boardroom has a barstool and it's me they come to see.

I love to entertain 'em,    let's raise our glasses high…

    then scream and shout…and slam'em down and kiss your ass good-bye.

Chorus

From Key West up to Put-in-Bay  I've worn my sandals thin

    I played all your  favorite songs,  packed  up and did it all again

Now most won't remember  but tonight they're my biggest fans

    Oh I love what I do and that's the curse… of the music man.

At times it gets lonely,  some nights I'm just ignored

    think I might pack it up,  live off the memories I've stored

Then some drunk hollars…. "man…you're the best"….and he sends me up a shot

    I drink it down,  crank it up  and give it all I've got.

I never will retire,  though they'll one day tire of me.

    I'll be settin' in the rest home….with my guitar on my knee

We'll meet just after supper,  and we'll raise our glasses high

    in our final days we'll scream and shout  'till  they kiss our ass good-bye.

Repeat Chorus

Mot won't remember  but tonight you're my biggest fans

    This is why  I love what I do and that's the curse… of this music man.

Jimmy...Say It 'Aint So

I Remember it like yesterday,      left Miami for the Keys

     it was my first time on a sailboat,  first time upon the seas

When cutting through the salt air   came dancing on the breeze

     the damndest harp I'd ever heard,  and it put my nerves at ease

Jimmy say it aint so,    I need to know

    for over twenty years now I've come to hear him blow

and Jimmy,  if it's so,    there's something you should know

    without Fingers,  it aint my kind of show 

I've sat in deep reflection,     off the coast of marseilles

    and when this pirate looked at forty,   I still loved to hear him play

his haunting sounds of distant travels,  found their way into my soul

    a neverending comfort,  when life would take it's toll.

So Jimmy say it aint so,    I need to know

    for over twenty years now I've come to hear him blow

and Jimmy,  if it's so,    there's something you should know

    without Fingers,  it aint my kind of show 

Bridge    

Now Jimmy,  don't get me wrong                    

    I'm a big fan fan of your crazy Island Songs

Guess I hope the story ends, 

    with you and Fingers,    back on stage again

I Remember it like yesterday,      came dancing on the breeze

    the damndest harp I'd ever heard,  still puts  my nerves at ease

Blow….Fingers  blow
