Money Back Guarantee

by Jimmy Buffett, Michael Utley, and Will Jennings

from the album Beaches

Lyrics

One day you’ll be glad I came around
I may be the best thing you have found
Ain’t much you can count on in this town
I swear I’m speaking from my heart
And I won’t let you down

My love is guaranteed
You’re never going to see the end of me
I’ve got all you need
Like a ginsu knife or a bamboo steamer
Late night TV hawk-eyed screamer
You’ll be the coffee I’ll be the creamer
I’m money back, money back guaranteed
Money back, money back guaranteed

I just do my best to stay alive
Got a junked out car but you should see me drive
Racing down St. Charles Avenue
Ain’t got much but what I got
Will sure be good for you

My love is guaranteed
You’re never going to see the end of me
I’ve got all you need
Like a ginsu knife or a bamboo steamer
Late night TV hawk-eyed screamer
You’ll be the coffee I’ll be the creamer
I’m money back, money back guaranteed
Money back, money back guaranteed

Flyin’ down the highway of my dreams
You will find my crazy love
Is always what it seems

My love is guaranteed
You’re never going to see the end of me
I’ve got all you need
Like a ginsu knife or a bamboo steamer
Late night TV hawk-eyed screamer
You’ll be the coffee I’ll be the creamer
I’m money back, money back guaranteed
Money back, money back guaranteed

I’m money back, money back guaran…
Money back, money back guaran…
Money back, money back guaranteed

Money back, money back guaran…
Money back, money back guaran…
I’m money back, money back guaranteed

Money back, money back guaran…
Money back, money back guaran…
Money back, money back guaranteed

Money back, money back guaranteed

Jimmy’s Note:

When I was working on Bourbon Street as a teenager, the big trill on my day off was to ride out St Charles Avenue on the streetcar to the Audubon Zoo and back. I kept that image and when we got together with the Neville Brothers a few years back, I combined that and the silly ads on television into the lyrics of this song. I do own a bamboo steamer and use it a lot. I never had to use my money back guarantee.
