Banana Republics (香蕉共和国) - Jimmy Buffett[00:00:00]
Down to the banana republics down to the tropical sun[00:00:36]
Go the expatriated americans hoping to find some fun[00:00:45]
Some of them go for the sailing caught[00:00:54]
By the lure of the sea[00:00:59]
Trying to find what is ailing living in the land of the free[00:01:03]
Some of them are running[00:01:12]
From lovers leaving no foreward address[00:01:14]
Some of them are running tons of ganja[00:01:21]
Some are running from the irs[00:01:25]
Late at night you will find them[00:01:30]
In the cheap hotels and bars[00:01:34]
Hustling the senioritas while they dance beneath the stars[00:01:39]
Spending those renegade pesos[00:01:48]
On a bottle of rum and a lime[00:01:51]
Singing give me some words I can dance to[00:01:58]
Or a melody that rhymes[00:02:02]
First you learn the native customs[00:02:12]
Soon a word of spanish or two[00:02:16]
You know that you cannot trust them[00:02:21]
Cause they know they can't trust you[00:02:25]
Expatriated americans feeling so all alone[00:02:30]
Telling themselves the same lies[00:02:39]
That they told themselves back home[00:02:42]
Down to the banana republics things[00:03:23]
Aren't as warm as they seem[00:03:27]
None of the natives are buying[00:03:31]
Any second-hand american dreams[00:03:35]
Late at night you will find them[00:03:40]
In the cheap hotels and bars[00:03:44]
Hustling the senioritas while they dance beneath the stars[00:03:49]
Spending those renegade pesos on a bottle of rum and a lime[00:03:58]
Singing give me some words I can dance to[00:04:08]
Or a melody that rhymes[00:04:12]
Down to the banana republics down to the tropical sun[00:04:17]
Go the expatriated americans hoping to find some fun[00:04:26]
