[Verse]
DShe said I can't go back to America soon
So goddamn cold it's gonna snow until June
Yeah, they're Gfreezin' up in Buffalo Emstuck in their cars
And AI'm lyin' here 'neath the Gsun and the sDtars
DCustoms man tells her that she's gotta leave
She's got a plan hidden up her shrewd sleeve
Wants to find her a Gcaptain, a mEman of strong mind
And Aany direction he Gblows will be Dfine D7
[Chorus]
GPlease don't say manana if you don't Dmean it
I Ahave heard those words for so very Dlong D7
Don't Gtry to describe the ocean if you've never Dseen it
Don't Aever forget that you Gjust may wind up being Dwrong
[Verse]
DTried and I tried but I don't understand
Never seemed to work out the way I had it planned
Hangin' Gout at a marina when EmSteve Martin called
Singin' Aanybody there really Gwant to get Dsmall
DBut women and water are in short supply
There's not enough dope for us all to get high
I hGear it gets better, thatEm's what they say
As sAoon as we sail on to GCane Garden DBay D7
[Chorus]
GPlease don't say manana if you don't Dmean it
I Ahave heard those words for so very Dlong D7
GDon't try to describe the scenery if you've neveDr seen it
Don't Aever forget that you Gjust may wind up in my Dsong
[Bridge]
Alright let's reggae, Reefers!

[Verse]
DCalled my friends on those cheap nightly rates
Sure was good to talk to the old United States
While the Glights of St. Thomas lie Emtwenty miles west
I see AGeneral Electric's still Gdoing their Dbest
DI got to head this boat South pretty soon
New album's old and I'm fresh out of tunes
But I Gknow that I'll get 'em, I Emknow that they'll come
Through the Apeople and places and GCaldwood's DRum
[Chorus]
GPlease don't say manana if you don't Dmean it (don't mean it)
I Ahave heard those words for so very Dlong D7
GDon't try to describe a Kiss concert if you've nDever seen it
Don't Aever forget that you Gjust may wind up being Dgonged (gong)

And IA hope Anita Bryant neverG ever does one of myD songs
