Lyrics Off to See the Lizard - Jimmy Buffett
I
was
raised
by
a
maid
who
came
from
Martinique
She
wore
geckos
around
her
neck
and
bracelets
on
her
feet
A
superstitious
woman
from
the
land
of
sugar
cane
She′d
sing
the
sun
to
bed
and
dance
out
in
the
rain
Dance
out,
dance
out,
dance
out
in
the
rain
She'd
excite
us
with
a
legend
that
the
Africans
told
About
a
red
iguanna
who
turned
lava
into
gold
We′d
mount
an
expedition
heading
up
into
the
bay
Superstitious
children
playing
pirate
for
the
day
Chorus:
Off
to
see
the
lizard
Off
to
see
the
lizard
Deja
deja
deja
vu
Believe
it
and
it
will
come
true

What
works
for
me
might
work
for
you
Being
rich
an
famous
seems
to
have
its
ups
and
downs
But
that's
the
price
you
pay
for
being
troubadours
and
clowns
Godzilla's
halitosis
it
be
vaporizing
cars
Elvis
up
in
Michigan
or
maybe
out
on
Mars
Dance
out,
dance
out,
dance
out
to
the
stars
But
living
in
the
briar
patch
ain′t
what
it
appears
Sooner
or
later
you′ve
got
to
face
your
fears
I
heard
it
from
the
parrot
verbalizing
in
the
tree
I
heard
in
the
songline
of
the
aborigine
Chorus:
Off
to
see
the
lizard
Off
to
see
the
lizard
Deja
deja
deja
vu
Believe
it
and
it
will
come
true

What
works
for
me
might
work
for
you
Does
it
work
for
me?
(yeah,
yeah)
Will
it
work
for
you?
(yeah,
yeah)
If
you
believe
it
will
(yeah,
yeah)
It
will
come
true
(yeah,
yeah)
I
got
problems
with
my
brain
underneath
my
curls
Problems
with
Loraine
and
all
the
other
girls
Love
a
wealthy
woman
and
the
pretty
plane
she
flys
If
you
think
this
sounds
confusing
you
should
see
it
through
my
eyes
Dancing,
dancing,
dancing
through
my
eyes
I'm
turning
off
the
waterfall
the
tourists
can
go
home
I
feel
it
time
to
travel
take
time
to
write
a
poem
Time
to
seek
some
therapy
I′m
going
walkabout
Answers
are
the
easy
part,
questions
raise
the
doubt
Chorus:
Off
to
see
the
lizard
Off
to
see
the
lizard
