Lyrics:
Last mango in parisBy: jimmy buffett, marshall chapman, will jennings, michael utley1985'for all the living legends I've had the pleasure to know. there'sStill so much to be done.'I went down to captain tony'sTo get out of the heatThen I heard a voice call out to me'son come have a seat'I had to search my memoryAs I looked into those eyesOur lives change like the weatherBut a legend never diesChorus:He said I ate the last mango in parisTook the last plane out of saigonTook the first fast boat to chinaAnd jimmy there's still so much to be doneI had a third world girl in buziosWith a pistol in each handShe always kept me coveredAs we moved from land to landI had a damn good run on wall streetWith my high fashion model wifeI woke up dry beneath the african skyJust me and my swiss army knifeChorus:I ate the last mango in parisTook the last plane out of saigonTook the first fast boat to chinaAnd jimmy there's still so much to be doneWe shot the breeze for hoursAs the sun fell from the skyAnd like the sun he disappearedBefore my very eyesIt was somewhere past dark-thirtyAnd I went back to the headI read upon the dingy wallThe words the old man said:I ate the last mango in parisTook the last plane out of saigonTook the first fast boat to chinaAnd jimmy there's still so much to be doneI ate the last mango in parisTook the last plane out of saigonTook the first fast boat to chinaAnd jimmy there's still so much to be doneThat's why we wander and follow la vie dansante- notes:Background vocals: timothy b. schmit
