Lyrics：Jimmy Buffett Music：Jimmy Buffett |
| [00:00.39] |
This song is for Billy Clyde Tuggel. I hope you make it to Tahiti one day. |
| [00:02.58] |
Spoken： |
| [00:02.76] |
'Play Ball!! (one, two, three, four)' |
| [00:03.27] |
'Where's my per diem? (Ladies and gentlemen, the Carl Reiner Band)' |
| [00:05.94] |
'Hey Bobby, where's the keys to the rent-a-car?' |
| [00:09.96] |
'Jimmy, Jimmy, can I open the show in Atlanta please?' |
| [00:13.23] |
'Warning! Don't ever start a band!' |
| [00:30.66] |
He worked hard all year, just wanted a few weeks alone |
| [00:37.35] |
But his old lady's into modelin', she can't get away from a phone |
| [00:44.55] |
Besides she bitches about the mosquitoes |
| [00:48.03] |
She says, 'Down there there is nothing to do' |
| [00:50.28] |
Her goddamn phone never stops ringin' |
| [00:55.32] |
He'll try the service in a day maybe two |
| [01:00.78] |
Well he's on his third drink before the wheels of the plane leave the ground |
| [01:07.95] |
Makin' points with the stewardess high over Long Island Sound |
| [01:14.85] |
She's also spending some time on the island |
| [01:18.57] |
Too much city madness gives her the blues |
| [01:22.11] |
They make a date to go dancin' and dinin' |
| [01:25.80] |
It seems neither has that much to lose |
| [01:28.50] |
Chorus: |
| [01:29.79] |
The weather is here I wish you were beautiful |
| [01:33.42] |
My thoughts aren't too clear but don't run away |
| [01:37.05] |
My girlfriend's a bore, my job is too dutiful |
| [01:40.74] |
Hell nobody's perfect would you like to play? |
| [01:45.84] |
I feel together today |
| [01:54.09] |
Well now that's just the start of a well-deserved overdue binge |
| [02:01.32] |
Meanwhile back in the city certain people are starting to cringe |
| [02:08.55] |
His lawyers are calling his parents |
| [02:12.21] |
His girlfriend doesn't know what to think |
| [02:15.81] |
His partners are studying their options |
| [02:19.14] |
He's just singin' and orderin' drinks |
| [02:21.81] |
Chorus: |
| [02:23.19] |
The weather is here I wish you were beautiful |
| [02:26.82] |
The skies are too clear life's so easy today |
| [02:30.39] |
The beer is too cold, the daiquiri's too fruitiful |
| [02:34.14] |
No place like home when you're this far away |
| [02:39.00] |
I don't care what they say (I don't care) |
| [02:54.09] |
He's goin' back to New York pack it up and let everyone know |
| [03:01.47] |
It was something that he should have done such a long time ago |
| [03:08.31] |
Still time to start a new life in the palm trees |
| [03:12.48] |
Ah, Billy Clyde wasn't insane |
| [03:15.63] |
And if it doesn't work out there'll never be any doubt |
| [03:19.20] |
That the pleasure was worth all the pain |
| [03:21.96] |
Chorus: |
| [03:23.22] |
The weather is here I wish you were beautiful |
| [03:26.85] |
The skies are too clear life's so easy today |
| [03:30.45] |
The beer is too cold, the daiquiri's too fruitiful |
| [03:34.23] |
No place like home when you're this far away |
| [03:37.20] |
Time for to play |
| [03:39.66] |
I need time for to play |
| [03:40.11] |
Time for to play |
| [03:42.66] |
I need time for to play |
| [03:43.65] |
I need time for to play |
| [03:44.40] |
I need time for to play |
| [03:47.19] |
I need time for to play |
| [03:50.79] |
I need time for to play |
| [03:51.42] |
I need time for to play |
| [03:51.87] |
