[00:11.24]The wind is in from africa
[00:12.45]Last night i couldn\'t sleep
[00:13.79]Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here carey
[00:17.71]But it\'s really not my home
[00:21.28]My fingernails are filthy, i got beach tar on my feet
[00:26.57]And i miss my clean white linen and my fancy french cologne
[00:32.92]
[00:33.71]Oh carey get out your cane
[00:38.86]And i\'ll put on some silver
[00:41.13]Oh you\'re a mean old daddy, but i like you fine
[00:47.66]
[00:49.49]Come on down to the mermaid cafe and i will buy you a bottle of wine
[00:55.56]And we\'ll laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses down
[01:02.01]Let\'s have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
[01:05.50]A round for these friends of mine
[01:08.05]Let\'s have another round for the bright red devil
[01:10.84]Who keeps me in this tourist town
[01:13.84]
[01:14.74]Come on, carey, get out your cane
[01:18.55]I\'ll put on some silver
[01:21.73]Oh you\'re a mean old daddy, but i like you~~~
[01:29.53]
[01:32.06]Maybe i\'ll go to amsterdam
[01:34.00]Or maybe i\'ll go to rome
[01:37.13]And rent me a grand piano and put some flowers \'round my room
[01:43.42]But let\'s not talk about fare-thee-welis now
[01:46.74]The night is a starry dome.
[01:49.83]And they\'re playin\' that scratchy rock and roll
[01:52.67]Beneath the matalla moon
[01:55.39]
[01:56.05]Come on, carey, get out your cane
[02:00.10]And i\'ll put on some silver
[02:01.54]You\'re a mean old daddy, but i like you
[02:08.69]
[02:12.18]The wind is in from africa
[02:15.09]Last night i couldn\'t sleep
[02:17.75]Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here
[02:20.71]But, it\'s really not my home
[02:24.77]Maybe it\'s been too long a time
[02:27.68]Since i was scramblin\' down in the street
[02:30.24]Now they got me used to that clean white linen
[02:33.72]And that fancy french cologne
[02:36.87]
[02:38.60]Oh carey, get out your cane
[02:40.87]I\'ll put on my finest silver
[02:44.28]We\'ll go to the mermaid cafe
[02:46.07]Have fun tonight
[02:49.56]I said, oh, you\'re a mean old daddy, but you\'re out of sight
