歌词
Cruising down Catherine Street to Cafelito Cafe
Cuban coffee please, senor, to wash last night away
It's early and it's quiet
Just the gypsy chickens' crow
My favorite time is when island time moves extra slow
The sun is still yawning
And the sky is still pink
I turn down Whitehead Street
And I start to think
Why was I in a hurry to get where I didn't belong?
My favorite time is when island time takes extra long
I talk to the Hemingway cats and pet the iguanas
A little backwards, I guess
But then I've always wanted
To be a little different
March to a laid-back beat
My favorite time is when island time
Gives you what you seek
There's a cruise ship gently snoring down in Mallory Square
A nice woman from Wisconsin is somewhere up in there
I hope I gave her a story worth telling when she gets north
My favorite time is when island time shows you what it's worth
While I was daydreaming
The old Bone Key came to life
It was nice while it lasted
But now it's time to hide
Too much noise and people
Too much moving around
My favorite time is when island time
Disappears without a sound
I talk to the Hemingway cats
And pet the iguanas
A little backwards I guess
But then I've always wanted
To be a little different
March to a laid back beat
My favorite time is when
Island time gives you what you seek
My favorite time is when Key West
Gives you what you need
