1. _ Fins ( In Album Volcano)
Fins
By: jimmy buffett, deborah mccoll, barry chance, tom corcoran
1979
She came down from cincinnati
It took her three days on the train
Lookin' for some peace and quiet
Hoped to see the sun again
But now she lives down by the ocean
She's takin' care to look for sharks
They hang out in the local bars
And they feed right after dark
Chorus:
Can't you feel 'em circlin', honey
Can't you feel 'em swimmin' around
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
And you're the only bait in town
Oh oh
Oh oh
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
And you're the only girl in town
She's saving up all of her money
Wants to head it south in may
Maybe roll in the sand with a rock 'n' roll man
Somewhere down montserrat way
But the money's good in the season
Helps to lighten up her load
Boys keep her high as the months go by
She's getting postcards from the road
Chorus:
Can't you feel 'em closin' in, honey
Can't you feel 'em schoolin' around
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
And you're the only girl in town
Sailed off to antigua
It took her three days on a boat
Lookin' for some peace and quiet
Maybe keep her dreams afloat
But now she feels like a remora
'cause the school's still close at hand
Just behind the reef are the big white teeth
Of the sharks that can swim on the land
Chorus:
Can't you feel 'em circlin', honey
Can't you feel 'em schoolin' around
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
And you're the only bait in town
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
And you're the only girl in town

2. _ Dreamsicle
Dreamsicle
By: jimmy buffett
1979
Let me tell ya' now
He sips, he quips
Dreams a lot about sailing ships
Wants to throw it all away
Wants to have it back someday
Love's fool, sears tools
Wants to win that football pool
Spend it on some real good grass
Disappearin' oh so fast
Tell my story pain and glory
Guess my occupation
Free and easy warm and breezy
Overnight sensation
I got house pets, lear jets
Tryin' to learn about basinettes
Oh miss piggy dance with me
Let me take you to the sea
Dreamsicle, big dill pickle
High school honeys sure were fickle
I'll be damned, country ham
Takes me back to alabam'
So won't you tell my story pain and glory
Guess my occupation
Free and easy warm and breezy
Overnight sensation
Let me tell ya' now
He sips, he quips
Dreams a lot about sailing ships
I'll be damned, country ham
Takes me back to alabam'
I'll be damned, country ham
Takes me back, to alabama

4. _ Survive
Survive
By: jimmy buffett, mike utley
1979
I play the stereo loud
When i'm away from the maddening crowd
Smokin', jokin'
Clowns we all are
Sometimes, kinda get real ill
When i receive my monthly telephone bill
But you say it, and i'll pay it
'cause it just helps me to
Chorus:
Survive (survive), stay alive
'til i see you again
Survive, stay alive
Can't say where it ends
Clouds lift and there're mountains below
Been awhile since i've seen any snow
It's chillin', so thrillin', so good to be back
Feels nice, to be home for awhile
Let's sip champagne till we break into smiles
We'll go dancin', romancin'
'cause you're the reason i
Chorus:
Survived (survived), stayed alive
Through the thick and the thin
Survive, stay alive
Where will it all end
But my bags ain't unpacked

Survive (survive), stay alive
Through the thick and the thin

5. _ Lady I Can't Explain
Lady i can't explain
By: jimmy buffett
1979
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 these antics
Is a heart full of smiles
So i'll just keep on dreamin' (i'll just keep on dreamin')
Thoughts that are in my brain
You just keep on bein'
Lady i can't explain
I know that i've
The imagination of a child
And there are times
When i let it all run wild
But if i hurt, you forgive
Still you won't let me live
Some of those episodes down
That's why i love you
And put no one above you
Love your sights and your sounds
So, i'll just keep on movin' (i'll just keep on movin')
When the forecast calls for rain
You just keep on bein'
Lady i can't explain
So i'll just keep on movin' (i'll just keep on movin')
When the forecast calls for rain
You just keep on bein'
The lady i can't explain
No no, the lady i can't explain
Coda:
Ah, yes i love you
Put no one above you
You're the lady i can't explain

6. _ Boat Drinks
Boat drinks
By: jimmy buffett
1979
Boat drinks
Boys in the band ordered boat drinks
Visitors scored on the home rink
Everything seems to be wrong
Lately, newspaper mentioned cheap air fare
I gotta to fly to saint somewhere
I'm close to bodily harm
Twenty degrees and the hockey game's on
Nobody cares they are way too far gone
Screamin' "boat drinks", something to keep 'em all warm
This mornin', i shot six holes in my freezer
I think i got cabin fever
Somebody sound the alarm
I'd like to go where the pace of life's slow
Could you beam me somewhere mr. scott?
Any ol' place here on earth or in space
You pick the century and i'll pick the spot
Oh i know, (i know)
I should be leaving this climate
I got a verse but can't rhyme it
I gotta go where it's warm
Boat drinks
Waitress i need two more boat drinks
Then i'm headin' south 'fore my dream shrinks
I gotta go where it's warm (i gotta go where it's warm)
I gotta go where it's warm (i gotta go where it's warm)
I gotta go where it's warm!
I gotta go where there ain't any snow
Where there ain't any blow
'cause my fin sinks so low
I gotta go where it's warm

7. _ Stranded On A Sandbar
Stranded on a sandbar
By: jimmy buffett
1979
I enjoy this life as a jester
Seems to keep me movin' around
Like the wind that blows
Tide that flows
Have my ups and downs
All a part of some strange plan i'm sure
Start a new chapter each day
Honey, love gets lost, time gets tossed
'cause we've both got our own different ways
Chorus:
I feel like i'm stranded on a sandbar
Stuck in my tracks like a street car
Playin' it for all that it's worth
I'm just payin' for my sins on earth
Now i used to go crazy for days at a time
Now i'm takin' my time with my days
Haven't found the answers like some that i know
I'm just stuck in a fairly nice maze
Climb to the top of the island tonight
Sit beneath the cashew tree
I want to count the stars, lights on the cars
That are shinin' up and down on me
Chorus:
I feel like i'm stranded on a sandbar
Baby i'm stuck in my tracks like a street car
Playin' it for all that it's worth
I'm just payin' for my sins on earth
Chorus:
I feel like i'm stranded on a sandbar
Sugar i'm stuck in my tracks like a street car
Playin' it for all that it's worth
I'm just payin' for my sins on earth
Coda:
I enjoy this life as a jester
Seems to keep me movin' around

8. _ Treat Her Like A Lady
Treat her like a lady
By: jimmy buffett, david loggins
1979
Chorus:
Some of us sailors call her home
She's big and she's strong and she's mighty
Some of us sailors call her our own
Guess that's the reason why
I treat her like a lady
Just treat her like a lady
Now i don't like the sound of the ground movin' 'round
Or winds spinnin' out of control
California earthquakes, only seem to make a' me
Shake, rattle, and roll
I've been too long on the mainland
Hotels, rental cars, and phones
Time to cast 'em aside, catch the very next tide
And go back, where i belong
Chorus:
Some of us sailors call her home
She's big and she's strong and she's mighty
Some of us sailors call her our own
Guess that's the reason why
I treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
Now great whales travel the rhumb lines
Dodging those deadly harpoons
Spawning their young, as their ancestors done
In the depths of her hidden lagoons
There're times i find myself with them
And times i feel as they do
We're on a similar course, it's just a different source
But i'm in danger of extinction too
Chorus:
Some of us sailors call her home
She's big and she's strong and she's mighty
Some of us sailors call her our own
Guess that's the reason why
I treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
Treat her like a lady
And miss her when i'm gone
(lady, lady) treat her like a lady
(lady, lady) treat her like a lady
(lady, lady) got to treat her like a lady
(lady, lady) treat her like a lady
Lady, lady
Lady, lady
Lady, lady

9. _ Sending The Old Man Home
Sending the old man home
By: jimmy buffett
1979
They're sendin' the old man home
Back where the buffalo roam
Out in the pacific, they say he was the best
Now he's in his "civies", headin' home like all the rest
He'll never forget rosa lee
Or sleepless nights he fought upon the sea
He'll only have the memories
Or great books by james jones
'cause they're sendin' the old man home
Faraway (faraway)
Faraway (faraway)
Another life so very far away
They'll tear down the officers clubs
And write off the overdue subs
So let's drink to their memories
Our heroes and our pals
To those crazy navy flyers
To those swell hawaiian gals
The sailors will dance in the street
Then they'll mothball the whole damn fleet
We'll only have the picture books
Of land, and sea, and foam
'cause they're sendin' the old man home
He'll only have his memories
Or great books by james jones
'cause they're sendin' the old man home

10. _ Chanson Pour Les Petits Enfants
Chanson pour les petits enfants
By: jimmy buffett
1979
[song for the little children]
Now young mister moon flew away in the night
With his best friend magnus right by his side
They soared through the milky way counting the stars
Once around venus twice around mars
Then they spied an island rise out of the sea
They fell back to earth just as free as you please
The children all gathered the church bells did ring
Suddenly everyone started to sing
Chorus:
Chanson pour les petits enfants
Chanson pour tout le monde
Chanson pour les petits enfants
Chanson pour tout le monde
Queen of the island she welcomed them in
Asking 'em questions of where they had been
She offered 'em chocolate she offered them tea
They all took their seats in the top of a tree
And racoons brought wine and the mice they brought cheese
Beautiful birds floated by on the breeze
From out in the oceans the dolphins began
Humming a tune that soon covered the land
Chorus:
Chanson pour les petits enfants
Chanson pour tout le monde
Chanson pour les petits enfants
Chanson pour tout le monde
So young princess leia brought coral and pearls
Gifts to the travelers from some other world
The bushdoctor mixed up a magical spell
Swore them to secrecy never to tell
So young mister moon flew away in the night
With his best friend magnus still right by his side
The sun was just rising, they'd be home by noon
Humming the words to this magical tune
Chorus:
Chanson pour les petits enfants
Chanson pour tout le monde
Chanson pour les petits enfants
Chanson pour tout le monde
Chorus:
Chanson pour les petits enfants (song for children)
Chanson pour tout le monde (song for the world)
Chanson pour les petits enfants (song for children)
Chanson pour tout le monde (song for the world)
