Jimmy Buffett - Life On the Flip Side Lyrics
Down At The Lah De Dah
On a patch of sand where the warm wind blows
Not a TV set, not a radio
Just an old guitar when the sun sinks low
Down at the Lah De Dah
When the stars come out, it's the place to be
If you're all alone, needing company
It's a lovers' bar where the fun is free
Down at the Lah De Dah
Down at the Lah De Dah
There's a perfect margarita in a mason jar
At the end of the world in a sea of dreams
Where the ocean smiles and the seagulls scream
We all know just how lucky we are
Down at the Lah-Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah-Lah
Lah-Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah-Lah
Lah-Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah-Lah
Down at the Lah De Dah
When you're back at work at your 9 to 5
And it's pourin' rain on your mornin' drive
You'll remember when you were last alive
Down at the Lah De Dah
Down at the Lah De Dah
There's a perfect margarita in a mason jar
At the end of the world in a sea of dreams
Where the ocean smiles and the seagulls scream
We all know just how lucky we are
Down at the Lah-Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah-Lah
Lah-Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah-Lah
Lah-Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah-Lah
Down at the Lah De Dah
Lah-Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah-Lah
Lah-Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah-Lah
Lah-Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah-Lah
Down at the Lah De Dah
Where the band strikes up and the sun is down
The pirate king buys another round
And the rumors fly mermaids are in town
Down at the Lah De Dah
Down at the Lah-Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah-Lah
Lah-Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah-Lah
Lah-Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah Lah-Lah
Down at the Lah De Dah
Cha-cha-cha

The world is what you make it
I knew this African they call Hannibal
Rock it, roll it, send it down the avenue
Went out to see the Roman Empire fall
Two thousand elephants in gold chain-mail
Take it, shake it, make it what you wanna be
Them Roman legionnaires they hit the trail
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it
When Cleopatra ruled in Egypt's land
Jump down, turn around, look at what the monkey did
She went to find herself a mighty man
In comes Antonio from Italy
Haul it, ball it, drag it up the pyramid
He never knew how hot a girl could be
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it
Don't start to hit me with your "no can do"
Bluesin', losin', workin' up an attitude
Clean up them windows, let the sun shine through
There ain't no happy time without no pain
Heartbreak, new date, move on up the alleyway
Pick up the pieces, hit the road again
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it
The world is what you make it, baby
The world is what you make it

Book On The Shelf
Well, I hope you have fun
Splashin' in the slack tide
Unchaperoned over on the flip side
I write what I know about, made up or true
These songs aren't for me, they're for you
Memories like meteors fly through my head
The sand was pearl white
Her bikini bright red
Retracing song lines gives me goose pimples
Still
Like the trail boards upon Boo Boo Hill
Ooh, I know these stories were
All lived before me
Still, I got a couple that
I'll keep to myself
I'm so damn lucky to have an all-star cast
Some lovely, some crazy
Who ever thought this would last?
You know if I hadn't lived it
I'd read it myself
Tellin' tall tales is still
Good for my health
Keep movin' and listenin' and amusin' myself
I'm not ready to put the book on the shelf
We all live some days vicariously
Blinded by all the light we cannot see
Handed down stories, cave walls to pens
Worth tellin' again and again
I call these modalities great power tubes
Placed in the hands of dreamers and fools
We're descended from court jesters
Quite sure of that
Could you kindly pass around the hat?
And I know these stories were
Sailed way before me toss a note in a bottle
And hope that it helps
I'm so damn lucky to have an all-star crew
Some stoic, some crazy
Some just passin' through
I guess music and lyrics are what I do best
I'm all done explaining or passin' some test
So pour me another, it's good for my health
I'm not ready to put the book on the shelf
I'll keep scribblin' on pages
Not jumpin' off stages
Not ready to put the book on the shelf
