Ti Punch Café (feat. Angelique Kidjo)

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 la Ou lé And thank the Lord for a watering hole open night and day Where buccaneers can sip their rum in the old Ti Punch Cafe Above the entrance curtain hangs a well-used frying pan The owner's not the Aga Khan, it is the Jolly Mon! Ou la Ou lé Ou la Ou lé Ou la Ou lé Ou la Ou lé Houéssivo lo dji houé, minbi nin djawa loo Houéssivo lo dji houé é minbi nin wa douwé loo Houéssivo lo dji houé, mnibi nin djawa loo Houéssivo lo dji houé é I scoped the sky for passersby, Jolly Mon planned the trip From the Pleiades, Desdemona came in her rocket ship Eddie brought them burgers, Banky brought his band And the Little Prince said, "Tout le monde" did the begune in the sand Ou la Ou lé Ou la Ou lé Ou la Ou lé Ou la Ou lé Now the party's done, fun tickets gone, we sang and loved and hoped And I woke up back in twenty, beneath my teloscope Galaxies and nautilus shells look the same to me So ask yourself this question, "How couldn't it be?"
