Lyrics for Grapefruit Juicy Fruit by Jimmy Buffett:
| | | Artist: | Jimmy Buffett |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Grapefruit Juicy Fruit | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 79 | | | | Lyrics: | He went to Paris lookin' for answers
To questions that bothered him so
He was impressive,
young and aggressive
Savin' the world on his own
But the warm summer breezes
The
French wines and cheeses
Put his ambition at bay
The summers and winters
Scattered
like splinters
And four or five years slipped away
Then he went to England, played
the piano
And married an actress named Kim
They had a fine life, she was a good wife
And bore him a young son named Jim
And all of the answers and all of the questions
Locked in his attic one day
'Cause he liked the quiet clean country livin'
And twenty
more years slipped away
Well the war took his baby, the bombs killed his lady
And
left him with only one eye
His body was battered, his whole world was shattered
And all he
could do was just cry
While the tears were a-fallin' he was recallin'
Answers he
never found
So he hopped on a freighter, skidded the ocean
And left England without a
sound
Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilin's
And drinks his Green Label each
day
Writing his memoirs, losin' his hearin'
But he don't care what most people say
Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion
If he likes you he'll smile and he'll
