Album: Changes In Latitudes Changes I

Tampico Trauma

By: Jimmy Buffett
1977
I must look a mess I must admit
But I have been travelling quite a bit
South of the Border
Where the law and order
Is kept by Federales who just grin
And tell you they just want to be your friend
I left for Tampico last July
I jumped off that boat I almost died
There to greet us
Were pretty senoritas
I swore that I would not go home then
All those lovely ladies were my friends
Whoa, those sweet chiquitas they don't pretend
-- Spoken: ";Como esta, Capitain...";
That is all I really want to say
I was thrown out of the country yesterday
See I was, drinkin' double
Causin' lots of trouble
When the man looked in the window of the bar and he grinned
And said, ";If you come back we just may not be your friend";
";I don't want to see you 'round here again";
";If you come back next time we may not..."; (Hidy ho' boys!)
