The Weather is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful Lyric |
||
 By: Jimmy Buffett 1980 This song is for Billy Clyde Tuggel. I hope you make it to Tahiti one day. -- Spoken: "Play Ball!! (one, two, three, four)" "Where`s my per diem? (Ladies and gentlemen, the Carl Reiner Band)" "Hey Bobby, where`s the keys to the rent-a-car?" "Jimmy, Jimmy, can I open the show in Atlanta please?" "Warning! Don`t ever start a band!" He worked hard all year, just wanted a few weeks alone But his old lady`s into modelin`, she can`t get away from a phone Besides she bitches about the mosquitoes She says, "Down there there is nothing to do" Her goddamn phone never stops ringin` He`ll try the service in a day maybe two Well he`s on his third drink before the wheels of the plane leave the ground Makin` points with the stewardess high over Long Island Sound She`s also spending some time on the island Too much city madness gives her the blues They make a date to go dancin` and dinin` It seems neither has that much to lose Chorus: The weather is here I wish you were beautiful My thoughts aren`t too clear but don`t run away My girlfriend`s a bore, my job is too dutiful Hell nobody`s perfect would you like to play? I feel together today Well now that`s just the start of a well-deserved overdue binge Meanwhile back in the city certain people are starting to cringe His lawyers are calling his parents His girlfriend doesn`t know what to think His partners are studying their options He`s just singin` and orderin` drinks Chorus: The weather is here I wish you were beautiful The skies are too clear life`s so easy today The beer is too cold, the daiquiri`s too fruitiful No place like home when you`re this far away I don`t care what they say (I don`t care) He`s goin` back to New York pack it up and let everyone know It was something that he should have done such a long time ago Still time to start a new life in the palm trees Ah, Billy Clyde wasn`t insane And if it doesn`t work out there`ll never be any doubt That the pleasure was worth all the pain Chorus: The weather is here I wish you were beautiful The skies are too clear life`s so easy today The beer is too cold, the daiquiri`s too fruitiful No place like home when you`re this far away Time for to play I need time for to play Time for to play I need time for to play I need time for to play I need time for to play I need time for to play I need time for to play I need time for to play - Notes: Billy Clyde Tuggel was a character in the soap opera "All My Children".
