Banana Republics (Album Version) - Jimmy Buffett[00:00:00]
Written by:Jim Rothermel/Steve Burgh/Steve Goodman[00:00:03]
Down to the Banana Republics[00:00:36]
Down to the tropical sun[00:00:40]
Go the expatriated Americans[00:00:44]
Hopin' to find some fun[00:00:50]
Some of them go for the sailing[00:00:54]
Called by the lure of the sea[00:00:58]
Tryin' to find what is ailing[00:01:03]
Living in the land of the free[00:01:07]
Some of them are running from lovers[00:01:12]
Leaving no forward address[00:01:16]
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 senoritas[00:01:38]
While they dance beneath the stars[00:01:42]
Spending those renegade pesos[00:01:47]
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[00:02:01]
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]
Because they know they can't trust you[00:02:25]
Expatriated Americans feelin' 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[00:03:23]
Things aren't as warm as they seem[00:03:27]
None of the natives are buying[00:03:31]
Any second hand American dreams[00:03:34]
Late at night you will find them[00:03:40]
In the cheap hotels and bars[00:03:44]
Hustling the senoritas[00:03:49]
While they dance beneath the stars[00:03:52]
Spending those renegade pesos[00:03:58]
On a bottle of rum and a lime[00:04:01]
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[00:04:18]
Down to the tropical sun[00:04:22]
Go the expatriated Americans[00:04:26]
Hopin' to find some fun[00:04:31]
