... Oh you know it sure is hard to leave here Carey,but it's really not my home.
My fingernails are filthy,
I've got beach tar on my feet,
and I miss my clean white linen
and my fancy French cologne.
Come on Carey get out your cane,
and I'll put on some silver.
Oh you're a mean old daddy but I like you
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 toss 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
that keeps me in this tourist town.
Come on Carey get out your cane,
And I'll put on some silver.
Oh you're a mean old daddy
but I like you.
