Lyrics for We Are The People Our Parents Warned Us About by Jimmy Buffett:
| | | Artist: | Jimmy Buffett |
| | Album: | One Particular Harbor | | Track: | We Are The People Our Parents Warned Us About | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 87 | | | | Lyrics: | I was supposed to have been a Jesuit priest or a Naval Academy grad
That was the way that my
parents perceived me
Those were the plans that they had
But I couldn't fit the part too
dumb or too smart
Ain't it funny how we all turned out
I guess we are the people our
parents warned us about
You know I coulda worked the rigs when the money was big
Or
hopped a freighter south to Trinidad
And when they tried to draft me I earned a college
degree
Buyin' time 'til things were not so bad
But then I got a guitar found a job in a
bar
Playin' acid rock 'til I was numb
Tell me where are the flashbacks they all warned us
would come
Chorus:
We are the people, they couldn't figure out
We are the
people our parents warned us about
Hey hey, Gardner McKay
Take us on the Leaky Tiki
with you
Clear skies bound for Shanghai
Sailing cross the ocean blue (do do do
dooo)
So blue (do do do dooo OOOH)
(do do do dooo)
(do do do dooo
OOOH)
Now I got quarters in my loafers tryin' to fight inflation
When it only used
to take a cent
Sometimes I wish I was back in my crashpad days
'Fore I knew what cash flow
meant
Seems everybody's joggin' or heavy into health shit
Don't tell me that I ought
to get rolfed
'Cause I love cajun martinis and playin' afternoon
golf
Chorus:
We are the people there isn't any doubt
We are the people they
still can't figure out
We are the people who love to sing "Twist and Shout"
SHAKE IT UP
BABY
We are the people our parents warned us about (do do do dooo)
Id'n' any doubt
(do do do dooo OOOH)
Hey hey hey (do do do dooo)
Gardner McKay (do do do dooo, Gardner
McKay)
(do do do dooo)
I wanna sail away today (do do do dooo OOOH)
Isn't any doubt
(do do do dooo)
They warned us about (do do do dooo OOOH)
Hey hey hey (do do do
dooo)
C'mon now Gardner McKay (do do do dooo OOOH)
I wanna sail away today | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
