Last Mango In Paris Lyrics - Singles - Jimmy Buffett

I went down to Captain Tony's 

To get out of the heat 

Then I heard a voice call out to me 

"Son come have a seat" 

I had to search my memory 

As I looked into those eyes 

Our lives change like the weather 

But a legend never dies 

Chorus: 

He said I ate the last mango in Paris 

Took the last plane out of Saigon 

Took the first fast boat to China 

And Jimmy there's still so much to be done

I had a third world girl in Buzios 

With a pistol in each hand 

She always kept me covered 

As we moved from land to land 

I had a damn good run on Wall Street 

With my high fashion model wife 

I woke up dry beneath the African sky 

Just me and my Swiss Army knife 

Chorus: 

I ate the last mango in Paris 

Took the last plane out of Saigon 

Took the first fast boat to China 

And Jimmy there's still so much to be done 

We shot the breeze for hours 

As the sun fell from the sky 

And like the sun he disappeared 

Before my very eyes 

Photos 

It was somewhere past dark-thirty 

And I went back to the head 

I read upon the dingy wall 

The words the old man said: 

I ate the last mango in Paris 

Took the last plane out of Saigon 

Took the first fast boat to China 

And Jimmy there's still so much to be done 

I ate the last mango in Paris 

Took the last plane out of Saigon 

Took the first fast boat to China 

And Jimmy there's still so much to be done 

That's why we wander and follow La Vie Dansante
