Letra African Friend - Jimmy Buffett
Disembarking at Duvalier Airport
Seeking transportation to town
As the purple ink dried on his passport
He could still feel the eyes look around
"Messieur ou y est casino?"
Spoke to the cabbie and smiled
Driver replied, "Vieux ou noveaux?"
As he motioned the dark man inside
Business in Aruba concluded
He now had a little money to spend
That's how I came to meet my African friend
We were rolling the bones several hours
Conversing as most gamblers do
We were calling on all of our powers
Hopin' to see the night through
But not approving at all of our winnings
Pit boss, he tugged at his sleeve
Through the whole thing, my new friend was grinning
When he motioned, "it's time we should leave"
With our night at the tables behind us
We were ready just to do it again
That's when I came to know my African friend
But I woke up on the steps of a whorehouse
Soldier told me I'd better leave
As I stumbled to find me a taxi
I saw a note pinned to my sleeve
"It was a pleasure and a hell of an evening
Truly was our night to win
But the authorities insist on my leaving
Take care, my American friend"
With my weekend at Haiti concluded
I now had a little money to spend
That's when I came to meet my African friend
That's how I came to know another good friend
Seeking transportation to town
As the purple ink dried on his passport
He could still feel the eyes look around
"Messieur ou y est casino?"
Spoke to the cabbie and smiled
Driver replied, "Vieux ou noveaux?"
As he motioned the dark man inside
Business in Aruba concluded
He now had a little money to spend
That's how I came to meet my African friend
We were rolling the bones several hours
Conversing as most gamblers do
We were calling on all of our powers
Hopin' to see the night through
But not approving at all of our winnings
Pit boss, he tugged at his sleeve
Through the whole thing, my new friend was grinning
When he motioned, "it's time we should leave"
With our night at the tables behind us
We were ready just to do it again
That's when I came to know my African friend
But I woke up on the steps of a whorehouse
Soldier told me I'd better leave
As I stumbled to find me a taxi
I saw a note pinned to my sleeve
"It was a pleasure and a hell of an evening
Truly was our night to win
But the authorities insist on my leaving
Take care, my American friend"
With my weekend at Haiti concluded
I now had a little money to spend
That's when I came to meet my African friend
That's how I came to know another good friend

Lady I Can’t Explain
What could I do that's never been done before?, What can I say that hasn't been said by scores?, If I was a designer, I could do nothin' finer, Than dress you in style, But I'm a hopeless romantic, still behind all...
Close Calls
Close calls, close calls, I will survive, Brick walls, big balls, lucky just to be alive, I fought Buford Pusser in a honky-tonk joint, He whipped my ass, that's beside the point, Close calls, close calls, lucky just...
Ti Punch Cafe
Took my telescope to sea, bound for outer space, To a lonely island in a very special place, An atoll with a blue lagoon, a point break full of grace, Lava flows from long ago, bubble up this place, Ou la, Ou lé, Ou...
Ace
It hardly seems a long time, just a minute of the day, But the man who stood beside me more than gave himself away, The food stain on his spotted shirt, the gray beard on his face, A man composed of many names, so I...
White Christmas
I'm dreaming of a White Christmas, Just like the ones I used to know, Where the tree tops glisten, And children listen, To hear sleigh bells in the snow, I'm dreaming of a White Christmas, With every Christmas care I...
