If It All Falls Down

Jimmy Buffett

I never wanted to be

A man of mystery

My life's an open book

by James Joyce and Agatha Christie



Sometimes I get confused

Somewhere around page two

I live the perfect crime

And crime pays more than it used to



They're checkin' the evidence

May be come charges pressed

The only one they got me on

is some misdemeanor craziness



(CHORUS)

If It All Falls Down falls down falls down

If they solve my life if they find me out

Never thought to keep all I have found

I hae had my fun If It All Falls Down



If It All Falls Down falls down falls down

I hve had my fund I have bought a few rounds

And been out on the town way out on the town

Way way way out If It All Falls Down



Never wanted to be

A part of history

I have my days in the sun

A beach bum a man for all sea sides

Guidance counselor said

Your scores are anti-heroic

Computer recommends

Hard-drinking calypso poet



Studied life at sea

Studied life in bars

Never passed my S.A.T.'s

So I thought I'd study extra hard



(CHROUS)

If It All Falls Down falls down falls down

I have learned my trade from the inside out

I can strum real hard I can play real loud

I can charm a crowd If It All Falls Down



If It all Falls Down falls down falls down

I can warm a crowd I can make them shout

I can juggle verbs adverbs and nouns

I can make them dance till they all fall down

We had plenty of doctors

We had plenty of lawyers

We had people to make us things

We had people to sell us those things

We didn't have enough room for those things

We build lots of self storage

Calypso poet shortage

Calypso poet shortage



If It All Falls Down falls down falls down

I'll have filled that void from city to town

I'll have spent my money and taken my bows

I'll have had my fun If It All Falls Down

If It All Falls Down falls down falls down

If they solve my
