Joni Mitchell - Carey

The wind is in from africa
Last night I couldn't sleep
Oh you know it sure is
hard to leave here carey
But it's really not my home
My fingernails are filthy
I got beach tar on my feet
And I miss my clean white linen
and my fancy french cologne
Oh carey get out your cane
And I'll put on some silver
Oh you're a mean old daddy
but I like you
Come on down to the mermaid cafe
and I will buy you a bottle of wine
And we'll laugh and toast to nothing
and smash our empty glasses down
Let's have a round for these freaks
and these soldiers
A round for these friends of mine
Let's have another round
for the bright red devil
Who keeps me in this tourist town
Come on carey get out your cane
I'll put on some silver
Oh you're a mean old daddy
but I like you I like you
I like you I like you
Maybe I'll go to amsterdam
Or maybe I'll go to rome
And rent me a grand piano
and put some flowers 'round my room
But let's not talk about
fare-thee-welis now
The night is a starry dome
And they're playin'
that scratchy rock and roll
Beneath the matalla moon
Come on carey get out your cane
And I'll put on some silver
You're a mean old daddy
but I like you
The wind is in from africa
Last night I couldn't sleep
Oh you know it sure is
hard to leave here
But it's really not my home
Maybe it's been too long a time
Since I was scramblin'
down in the street
Now they got me used to
that clean white linen
And that fancy french cologne
Oh carey get out your cane
I'll put on my finest silver
We'll go to the mermaid cafe
Have fun tonight
I said oh you're a mean old daddy
but you're out of sight
The wind is in from africa
Last night I couldn't sleep
Oh you know it sure is
hard to leave here carey
But it's really not my home
My fingernails are filthy
I got beach tar on my feet
And I miss my clean white linen
and my fancy french cologne
Oh carey get out your cane
And I'll put on some silver
Oh you're a mean old daddy
but I like you
Come on down to the mermaid cafe
and I will buy you a bottle of wine
And we'll laugh and toast to nothing
and smash our empty glasses down
Let's have a round for these freaks
and these soldiers
A round for these friends of mine
Let's have another round
for the bright red devil
Who keeps me in this tourist town
Come on carey get out your cane
I'll put on some silver
Oh you're a mean old daddy
but I like you I like you
I like you I like you
Maybe I'll go to amsterdam
Or maybe I'll go to rome
And rent me a grand piano
and put some flowers 'round my room
But let's not talk about
fare-thee-welis now
The night is a starry dome
And they're playin'
