Off To See The Lizard Lyrics - Welcome To Fin City - Jimmy Buffett

I was raised by a maid who came from Martinique 

She wore geckos around her neck and bracelets on her feet 

A superstitious woman from the land of sugar cane 

She'd sing the sun to bed and dance out in the rain 

Dance out, dance out, dance out in the rain 

She'd excite us with a legend that the Africans told 

About a red iguanna who turned lava into gold 

We'd mount an expedition heading up into the bay 

Superstitious children playing pirate for the day 

Chorus: 

Off to see the lizard 

Off to see the lizard 

Deja deja deja vu 

Believe it and it will come true 

Veja veja veja du 

What works for me might work for you

Being rich an famous seems to have its ups and downs 

But that's the price you pay for being troubadours and clowns 

Godzilla's halitosis it be vaporizing cars 

Elvis up in Michigan or maybe out on Mars 

Dance out, dance out, dance out to the stars 

But living in the briar patch ain't what it appears 

Sooner or later you've got to face your fears 

I heard it from the parrot verbalizing in the tree 

I heard in the songline of the aborigine 

Chorus: 

Off to see the lizard 

Off to see the lizard 

Deja deja deja vu 

Believe it and it will come true

Does it work for me? (yeah, yeah) 

Will it work for you? (yeah, yeah) 

If you believe it will (yeah, yeah) 

It will come true (yeah, yeah) 

I got problems with my brain underneath my curls 

Problems with Loraine and all the other girls 

Love a wealthy woman and the pretty plane she flys 

If you think this sounds confusing you should see it through my eyes 

Dancing, dancing, dancing through my eyes 

I'm turning off the waterfall the tourists can go home 

I feel it time to travel take time to write a poem 

Time to seek some therapy I'm going walkabout 

Answers are the easy part, questions raise the doubt 

Chorus: 

Off to see the lizard 

Off to see the lizard 

Deja deja deja vu 

Believe it and it will come true
