She's as pretty, pretty as a lioness
And like a lion I tamed her myself
I walked right up and said hey you'll never guess
It's a beautiful sunset, as south as you can get
But I never had a home
That I could call my own
So I guess I'm gonna have to roam or build a nest
Tonight will be Key West
She laughed at first, and so I smiled back
Then I asked her "What do you think about that?"
We are closer to Cuba, then the U.S.
Where people make all their money waiting for shipwrecks
And there used to be a train
All the way from Maine
But then a hurricane wiped it out
And it's never been the same
Hemingway really loved his cats
Polydactyl now you try saying that
He put them in his will, then blew his brains right out
Now the old man and the sea, is sailing with hunter s
But I'm not here for myself
I really just wanna help
To try and be just blessed
You and me should start a really good business
You won't have to worry cause here it never frosts
So we can sleep outside under the spanish moss
That's when I started to detect a subtle pause
When in my mind all i heard was applause
Well why don't we invest
In all the world's homeless
And put our ills to rest
I betcha that would be the best we could do
Or hitchhike our way to Key West
