School Boy Heart

Jimmy Buffett

I got a school boy heart, a novelist eye

Stout sailor's legs and a license to fly

I came with nomad feet and some wandering toes

That walk up my longboard and hang off the nose



I suppose the need to focus never arose

So something like a Swiss Army knife, that's my life

Frankenstein had nothing on this body of mine

The villagers still flockin' to see, to see me

Breakin' free, breakin' free



"Cause I got a school boy heart, novelist eye

Stout sailor's legs and a license to fly

I got a bartender ear and a beachcomber style

Piratical nerve and a vaudevillian style



I-yi-yi-yi-yi, i-yi-yi-yi-yi



I suspect I died in some cosmic shipwreck

With all hands spread all over the deck,--what the heck.

Then some kind of unseen and unscrupulous mind

Began to pick up what he could find, added ice

Shook me twice, rolled the dice



Now I got a school boy heart, a novelist eye

Stout sailor's legs and a license to fly

I got a native tongue from way down south

It sits in the cheek of my Gulf coastal mouth



I got a school boy heart, a novelist eye

Stout sailor's legs and a license to fly

I came with nomad feet and some wandering toes

That glide up my longboard and hang off the nose



I-yi-yi-yi-yi, i-yi-yi-yi-yi,........
