Lyrics for Banana Republic by Jimmy Buffett:
| | | Artist: | Jimmy Buffett |
| | Album: | Miscellaneous | | Track: | Banana Republic | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 96 | | | | Lyrics: | Down to the Banana Republic
Down to the tropical sun
Go the expatriated
Americans
Hoping to find some fun
Some of them go for the sailn'
Called by the
lure of the sea
Trying to find what is ailing
From living in the land of the
free
Some of them are running from lovers
Leaving no forward address
Some of
them are running tons of ganga
Some are running from the IRS
And late at night you
will find them
In the cheap hotels & bars
Hustling the senoritas while they dance beneath
the stars
Spending those renegade pesos
On a bottle of rum & a lime
Singing,
give me some words I can dance to
Or a melody that rhymes
First you learn the native
customs
Soon a word of Spanish or two
But you know that you cannot trust them
Cause
they know they can't trust you
Expatriated Americans feeling so all alone
Telling
themselves the same lies
That they told themselves back home
Down to the Banana Republic
things aren't as warm as they seem
When none of the natives are buying any second hand American
