We Learned To Be Cool From You - Jimmy Buffett

Friend friend

We are at it again

Blastin' off to Timbuktu

I said it before I’ll say it again

We learned to be cool from you

Hey lady in the Mermaid Cafe

Bathed in a spotlight of blue

Singing those Sarah Vaughan songs until dawn

We learned to be cool from you

Maybe I can parlez a little Francais

Maybe I can even write a whole page a day

Do a crossword puzzle in a minute or two

But I learned to be cool from you

Hey Mr. Mustache look what we’ve done

Lived longer than they thought we could do

Through all of the games and all of our fame

We learned to stay cool from you

Hey there Leonard and Willie on the stage

Still singing your songs pure and true

Who would have thought that time could be bought

We learned to stay cool from you

Maybe I can parlez a little Francais

Maybe I can even write a whole page a day

Do a crossword puzzle in a minute or two

But I learned to be cool from you

You said it’s more about music

And less about fame

You taught us it’s okay

To play without shame

It’s more about life

And the right thing to do

Hang on to the hullabaloo

Hey Captain Walter steering for the stars

Always knowing that your vision was true

It was your sign off note that kept us afloat

We learned to be cool from you

Maybe I can parlez a little Francais

Maybe I can still write a whole page a day

Do a crossword puzzle in a second or two

But I learned to be cool from you

I learned to be cool from you
