The surf was easy on the day I came to stay
On this quiet island in the bay
-5
I remember a line of women all in white
The laughter and the steel bands at night
All the A mericans are gone except for two
The emba ssy's been hard to reach
-5
There's been talk and lately a bit of action after dark
Behind the big ca sino on the beach
The rules are changed
It's not the same
It's all new players in a whole new ball game
Last night I dreamed of an old lover dressed in gray
I've had this fever now since yesterday
-5
Wake up darling they're knocking the Colonel's standing in the sun
With his stupid face the glasses and the gun
I know what happens
I read the book
-5
I believe I just got the goodbye look
( I believe I just got the good bye look )
+9+5 +9+5
I believe I just got the good byeye
( I believe I just got the goodbye look )
Won't you pour me a Cuban breeze Gretchen

The rules are changed
It's not the same
It's all new players in a whole new ball game
I know a fellow with a motor launch for hire
A skinny man with two-one shoes
-5
Cause tonight they're arranging a small reception just for me
Be hind the big casino by the sea
I know what happens
I read the book
-5
I believe I just got the goodbye look
( I believe I just got the good bye look )
+9+5 +9+5
I believe I just got the good byeye
( I believe I just got the goodbye )
