Current song lyrics
The wind is in from Africa<br />Last night I couldn't sleep<br />Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here Carey<br />But it's really not my home<br />My fingernails are filthy, I got beach tar on my feet<br />And I miss my clean white linen and my fancy French cologne<br /><br />Oh Carey get out your cane<br />And I'll put on some silver<br />Oh you're a mean old Daddy, but I like you fine<br /><br />Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe and I will buy you a bottle of wine<br />And we'll laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses down<br />Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers<br />A round for these friends of mine<br />Let's have another round for the bright red devil<br />Who keeps me in this tourist town<br /><br />Come on, Carey, get out your cane<br />I'll put on some silver<br />Oh you're a mean old Daddy, but I like you<br /><br />Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam<br />Or maybe I'll go to Rome<br />And rent me a grand piano and put some flowers 'round my room<br />But let's not talk about fare-thee-welIs now<br />The night is a starry dome.<br />And they're playin' that scratchy rock and roll<br />Beneath the Mantle of the Moon<br /><br />Come on, Carey, get out your cane<br />And I'll put on some silver<br />You're a mean old Daddy, but I like you<br /><br />The wind is in from Africa<br />Last night I couldn't sleep<br />Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here<br />But, it's really not my home<br />Maybe it's been too long a time<br />Since I was scramblin' down in the street<br />Now they got me used to that clean white linen<br />And that fancy French cologne<br /><br />Oh Carey, get out your cane<br />I'll put on my finest silver<br />We'll go to the Mermaid Cafe<br />Have fun tonight<br />I said, Oh, you're a mean old Daddy, but you're out of sight
