Last Mango In Paris

Jimmy Buffett · Other Songs - Jimmy Buffett

I went down to Captain Tony's

To get out of the heat

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 changed like the weather

But a legend never dies



[Chorus]

He said I ate the last mango in Paris

I 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]



We shot the breeze for hours

As the sun fell from the sky

And like the sun he disappeared

Before my very eyes

It was somewhere past dark-thirty

As I went back to the head

I read upon the dingy walls

The words the old man said



[Chorus: x2]
