Lyrics

I was raised by a maid who came from Martinique
She wore geckos round her neck and bracelets on her feet
A superstitious woman from the land of sugar cane
She’d sing the sun to bed and dance out in the rain
Dance out dance out dance out dance out in the rain

She’d excite us with his legend that the Africans had told
About a red iguana who turned lava into gold
We’d mount an expedition headin’ out into the bay
Superstitious children playing pirate for a day

Off to see the lizard
Off to see the lizard
Deja deja deja vu, believe it
And it will come true
Veja Veja Veja du
What works for me might work for you

Bein’ rich and famous seems to have its ups and downs
That’s the price you pay for being troubadours and clowns
Godzilla’s halitosis it be vaporizing cars
Elvis up in Michigan or maybe out on Mars
Dance out dance out dance out to the stars

But livin’ in the briar patch ain’t what it appears
Sooner or later you gotta face your fears
I heard it from the parrot verbalizing in the tree
I heard it in the song lines of the aborigine

Off the see the lizard
Off the see the lizard
Deja deja deja vu, believe it
And it will come true
Veja veja veja du
What works for me might work for you

Does it work for me?
Yeah yeah
Will it work for you?
Yeah yeah
If you believe it will
Yeah yeah
It will come true

I had problems with my brain when I took that big stage dive
I had an ass like Kim Kardashian but at least I’m still alive
Stitches in my elbow, Stitches in my head
So I healed up by the ocean not in some hospital bed
Whirling twirling song lines in my head

So I took off for Hawaii saw the acupuncture man
I ate a lot of grilled fish tacos but retiring ain’t the plan
On a beach down in Jamaica found a bottle in the sand
When I opened it and read the note It said “Welcome to Fin Land!”

Off the see the lizard
Off to see the lizard
Deja deja deja vu, believe it
And it will come true
Veja veja veja du
What works for me might work for you

Deja deja deja vu, believe it
And it will come true
Veja veja veja du
What works for me might work for you
