Lyrics by Jimmy Buffett
Music by Buffett, Kunkel, Guth, P.Mayer & J. Mayer
I'd like to be a jellyfish
'Cause jellyfish don't pay rent
They don't walk and they don't talk
With some Euro-trash accent
They're just simple protoplasm
Clear as cellophane
They ride the winds of fortune
Life without a brain
(Chorus)
In one ear and out the other
Don't you get criss-crossed
I recommend you try a little
Mental floss
It's the small, small problems
That keep me so upset
And send me seeking shelter
Beneath my mosquito net
I stay there for hours
Protected from the night
All those insects and vipers
And other things that bite
(Chorus)
I'd like to be a jellyfish
'Cause jellyfish don't pay rent
They don't walk and they don't talk
With some Euro-trash accent
They're just simple protoplasm
Clear as cellophane
They ride the winds of fortune
Life without a brain
(Chorus)
In one ear and out the other
Don't you get criss-crossed
I recommend you try a little
Mental floss
