We Are The People Our Parents Warned Us About Jimmy Buffett

I was supposed to have been a jesuit priest or a naval academy grad

That was the way that my parents perceived me

Those were the plans that they had

But I couldn fit the part too dumb or too smart

Ain it funny how we all turned out

I guess we are the people our parents warned us about

You know I coulda worked the rigs when the money was big

Or hopped a freighter south to trinidad

And when they tried to draft me I earned a college degree

Buying time till things were not so bad

But then I got a guitar found a job in a bar

Playing acid rock till I was numb

Tell me where are the flashbacks they all warned us would come

We are the people they couldn figure out

We are the people our parents warned us about

Hey hey gardner mckay

Take us on the leaky tiki with you

Clear skies bound for shanghai

Sailing cross the ocean blue do do do dooo

So blue do do do dooo oooh

Do do do dooo

Do do do dooo oooh

Now I got quarters in my loafers trying to fight inflation

When it only used to take a cent

Sometimes I wish I was back in my crashpad days

Fore I knew what cash flow meant

Seems everybodys jogging or heavy into health shit

Don tell me that I ought to get rolfed

Cause I love cajun martinis and playing afternoon golf

We are the people there isn any doubt

We are the people they still can figure out

We are the people who love to sing twist and shout

Shake it up baby

We are the people our parents warned us about do do do dooo

In any doubt do do do dooo oooh

Hey hey hey do do do dooo

Gardner mckay do do do dooo gardner mckay

Do do do dooo

I wanna sail away today do do do dooo oooh

Isn any doubt do do do dooo

They warned us about do do do dooo oooh

Hey hey hey do do do dooo

C now gardner mckay do do do dooo oooh
