Key West

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
