Buffett Jimmy A White Sport Coat And A Pink Crustacean He Went To Paris He Went to Paris ---------------- by Jimmy Buffett He went to Paris looking for answers To questions that bothered him so He was impressive, young and aggressive Saving the world on his own But the warm summer breezes, those french wines and cheeses Put his ambitions at bay The summers and winters scattered like splinters And four or five years slipped away So 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 to all of the questions He locked in his attic one day He liked the quiet, clean country living And twenty more years slipped away But 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 The tears were a falling, and he was recalling The answers he never found So he hopped on a freighter, sailed across the ocean And left England without a sound Now he lives in the islands, fishing the pylons And drinks his green label each day Writing his memoirs, losing his hearing And 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 say Jimmy some of it's magic and some of it's tragic But I had a good life all the way And he went to to Paris, looking for answers To questions that bothered him so |
