C/GThe wind is in from Africa
GLast night I couldn't sleep
Oh, you know it Fsure is hard to Cleave here Carey
But it's Greally not my home
C/GMy fingernails are filthy, GI got beach tar on my feet
And I Fmiss my clean white Clinen and my Gfancy French cologne
GOh Carey, get out your Ccane
CAnd I'll put on some Gsilver
FOh you're a mean old CDaddy, but I Glike CyouF/CG/HC
C/GCome on down to the Mermaid Cafe and I will Gbuy you a bottle of wine
And we'll Flaugh and toast to Cnothing and smash our Gempty glasses down
Let's have a C/Ground for these freaks and these soldiers
A Ground for these friends of mine
Let's have another Fround for the bright red Cdevil
Who keeps me Gin this tourist town
Come on, Carey, get out your Ccane
CI'll put on some Gsilver
FOh you're a mean old CDaddy, but I Glike CyouF/CG/HC
C/GMaybe I'll go to Amsterdam
Or Gmaybe I'll go to Rome
And Frent me a grand Cpiano and put some Gflowers 'round my room
But C/Glet's not talk about fare-thee-wells now
The Gnight is a starry dome.
And they're Fplayin' that scratchy Crock and roll
Beneath the GMatala Moon
GCome on, Carey, get out your Ccane
CAnd I'll put on some Gsilver
FYou're a mean old CDaddy, but I Glike CyouF/CG/HC
C/GThe wind is in from Africa
Last Gnight I couldn't sleep
Oh, you know it Fsure is hard to leavCe here
But, it's Greally not my home
C/GMaybe it's been too long a time
Since I was Gscramblin' down in the street
Now they got me Fused to that clean white Clinen
And that Gfancy French cologne
GOh Carey, get out your Ccane
CI'll put on my finest Gsilver
We'll Fgo to the Mermaid GCafe
Have fun tonCight
I said, FOh, you're a mean old CDaddy, but you're Gout of Csight
