Banana Republics Lyrics - Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes - Jimmy Buffett

Down to the Banana Republics 

Down to the tropical sun 

Go the expatriated American 

Hopin' to find some fun 

Some of them go for the sailing 

Called by the allure of the sea 

Tryin' to find what is ailing 

Living in the land of the free 

Some of them are running to lovers 

Leaving no forward address 

Some of them are running tons of ganja 

Some are running from the IRS

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Late at night you will find them 

In the cheap hotels and bars 

Hustling the senioritas 

While they dance beneath the stars 

Spending those renegade pesos 

on a bottle of rum and a lime 

Singin give me some words I can dance to 

Or a melody that rhymes 

First you learn the native custom 

Soon a word of Spanish or two 

You know that you cannot trust them 

Cause they know they can't trust you 

Expatriated American feelin' so all alone 

Telling themselves the same lies 

that they told themselves back home

Down to the Banana Republics 

Things aren't as warm as they seem 

None of the natives are buying 

any second hand American dreams 

Late at night you will find them 

In the cheap hotels and bars 

Hustling the senioritas 

while they dance beneath the stars 

Spending those renegade pesos 

On a bottle of rum and a lime 

Singing give me some words I can dance to 

Or a melody that rhymes 

Down to the Banana Republics 

Down to the tropical sun 

Go the expatriated Americans 

Hopin' to find some fun
