[verse 1]
the wind is in from africa
last night i couldn’t sleep
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

[chorus]
oh, carey get out your cane
and i’ll put on some silver
oh, you’re a mean old daddy
but i like you fine

[verse 2]
come on down to the mermaid café
and i will buy you a bottle of wine
and we’ll laugh and toast to nothing
and smash our empty gl-sses 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

[chorus 2]
come on, carey get out your cane
and 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

[verse 3]
maybe i’ll go to amsterdam
or maybe i’ll go to rome
and rent me a grand piano
and put some flowers around my room
let’s not talk about fare-thee-wells now
the night is a starry dome
and they’re playing that scratchy rock and roll
beneath the matala moon

[chorus 2]
come on, carey get out your cane
and i’ll put on some silver
oh, you’re a mean old daddy
but i like you

[verse 4]
the wind is in from africa
the 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 scrambling down in the street
now they got me used to that clean white linen
and that fancy french cologne

[chorus]
oh, carey get out your cane
and i’ll put on my finest silver
you’re a mean old daddy
but i like you
you’re a mean old daddy
but i like you

[outro]
come on down in the mermaid café
have fun tonight
i like you, i like you, ooh
