Lyrics
0:07The wind is in from Africa
0:10Last night I couldn't sleep
0:12Oh you know it sure
0:14Is hard to leave here Carey
0:16But it's really not my home
0:20My fingernails are filthy
0:22I got beach tar on my feet
0:25And I miss my clean white linen
0:28And my fancy French cologne
0:32Oh Carey get out your cane
0:35And I'll put on some silver
0:39Oh you're a mean old Daddy
0:41But I like you fine
0:48Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe
0:51And I will buy you a bottle of wine
0:55And we'll laugh and toast to nothing
0:57And smash our empty glasses down
1:01Let's have a round for these freaks
1:03And these soldiers
1:04A round for these friends of mine
1:07Let's have another round for the bright red devil
1:10Who keeps me in this tourist town
1:13Come on Carey get out your cane
1:17I'll put on some silver
1:20Oh you're a mean old Daddy
1:23But I like you
1:24I like you
1:25I like you
1:26I like you
1:30Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam
1:33Or maybe I'll go to Rome
1:36And rent me a grand piano
1:38And put some flowers around my room
1:42But let's not talk about fare thee welIs now
1:45The night is a starry dome
1:48And they're playing that scratchy rock and roll
1:51Beneath the Matalla Moon
1:55Come on Carey get out your cane
1:58And I'll put on some silver
2:01You're a mean old Daddy
2:03But I like you
2:11The wind is in from Africa
2:14Last night I couldn't sleep
2:16Oh you know it sure is hard to leave here
2:19But it's really not my home
2:24Maybe it's been too long a time
2:26Since I was scrambling down in the street
2:29Now they got me used to that clean white linen
2:32And that fancy French cologne
2:36Oh Carey get out your cane
2:39I'll put on my finest silver
2:43We'll go to the Mermaid Cafe
2:44Have fun tonight
2:48I said Oh you're a mean old Daddy
2:51But you're out of sight
The wind is in from Africa Last night I couldn't sleep Oh you know it sure Is hard to leave here Carey But it's really not my home My fingernails are filthy I got beach tar on my feet And I miss my clean white linen And my fancy French cologne Oh Carey get out your cane And I'll put on some silver Oh you're a mean old Daddy But I like you fine Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe And I will buy you a bottle of wine And we'll laugh and toast to nothing And smash our empty glasses down Let's have a round for these freaks And these soldiers A round for these friends of mine Let's have another round for the bright red devil Who keeps me in this tourist town Come on Carey get out your cane I'll put on some silver Oh you're a mean old Daddy But I like you I like you I like you I like you Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam Or maybe I'll go to Rome And rent me a grand piano And put some flowers around my room But let's not talk about fare thee welIs now The night is a starry dome And they're playing that scratchy rock and roll Beneath the Matalla Moon Come on Carey get out your cane And I'll put on some silver You're a mean old Daddy But I like you The wind is in from Africa Last night I couldn't sleep Oh you know it sure is hard to leave here But it's really not my home Maybe it's been too long a time Since I was scrambling down in the street Now they got me used to that clean white linen And that fancy French cologne Oh Carey get out your cane I'll put on my finest silver We'll go to the Mermaid Cafe Have fun tonight I said Oh you're a mean old Daddy But you're out of sight
