Jimmy Buffett - The Wino and I Know -

“Coffee is strong at the Cafe Du Monde

Donuts are too hot to touch

Just like a fool, when those sweet goodies cool

I eat 'til I eat way too much

'Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me

Be they pastry or lobster or love

I'm just tryin' to get by bein' quiet and shy

In a world full of pushin' and shove”

- Sail on, Sail on, Sailer -

The Wino And I Know

The ice cream man, he's a hillbilly fan Got 78s by Hank Snow Walks down the street shufflin' his feet To a rhythm that only he knows

And I've seen him in so many places I saw him the night I was born In a Bourbon Street bar, I received my first scar From an old man so tattered and torn

And the wino and I know the pain of street singin' Like a door-to-door salesman knows the pains of bell ringin' Strange situation, wild occupation Livin' my life like a song

Coffee is strong at the Café du Monde Donuts are too hot to touch Just like a fool, when those sweet goodies cool I eat 'til I eat way too much

'Cause I'm livin' on things that excite me Be they pastry or lobster or love I'm just tryin' to get by bein' quiet and shy In a world full of pushin' and shove

And the wino and I know the pain of back bustin' Like the farmer knows the pain of his pickup truck rustin' Strange situation, wild occupation Livin' my life like a song

Sweet señorita, won't you please come with me? Back to the island, honey, back to the sea Back to the only place that I want to be

And the wino and I know the joy of the ocean Like a boy knows the joy of his milkshake in motion Strange situation, wild occupation Livin' my life like a song

Yes, it's a strange situation, a wild occupation Livin' my life like a song
