Why don’t you plan a wonderful trip  
Down to Havana,  
Hop on a ship,  
and I’ll see you in C-U-B-A

Managua, Nicaragua, what a wonderful spot  
There’s coffee and bananas and the temperature’s hot  
So take a trip on a ship and go sailing away  
Across the agua to Managua, Nicaragua, olé!

I lay on the lilo till I’m lobster-red,  
I still feel the motion here at home in bed  
I tell you it’s hard for me to stay away,  
You ain’t been, till you been high in Montego Bay.

I was gonna clean my room until I got high  
I gonna get up and find the broom but then I got high  
my room is still messed up and I know why…  
Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high.

'Cause she’s so high  
High above me, she’s so lovely  
She’s so high  
Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc or Aphrodite

some skinny, some small.  
I’d like to get to know them all…

Ohhh won’t you take me home tonight  
Down beside that red fire light  
Ohhh won’t you let it all hang out  
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin’ world go round!

And it felt like a kiss.  
He hit me  
But it didn’t hurt me.

The last time that I saw you  
Your eyes were turning black  
Go find the guy who beat you up  
Ask him to take you back

I staggered back to the underground  
And the breeze blew back my hair  
I remember throwin’ punches around  
And preachin’ from my chair

The only one who could ever reach me  
Was the son of a preacher man  
The only boy who could ever teach me  
Was the son of a preacher man

I have to be careful not to preach  
I can’t pretend that I can teach,  
And yet I’ve lived your future out  
By pounding stages like a clown

It was the time of the preacher  
In the year of '01  
Now the lesson is over  
And the killing’s begun

And all the playing’s stopped in the playground now  
She wants to play with the toys a while  
And school’s out early and soon we’ll be learning  
And the lesson today is how to die

When I think back of the all the crap  
I learned in high school  
It’s a wonder I can think at all.

In the high school halls  
In the shopping malls  
Conform or be cast out  
In the basement bars  
In the backs of cars  
Be cool or be cast out

Do I dress up, or do I dress down  
Should I talk, or should I just frown  
I don’t fit in  
I don’t fit in  
With the crowd of hometown friends  
All the cats that are so in

We are young  
Wandering the face of the Earth  
Wondering what our dreams might be worth  
Learning that we’re only immortal for a limited time
