We are the people our parents warned us about Lyricsby Jimmy Buffett Buy album CD: Meet Me In Margaritaville: The Ultimate Collection We Are The People Our Parents Warned Us About By: Jimmy Buffett 1983 For Ed Polock I was supposed to have been a Jesuit priest or a Naval Academy grad That was the way that my parents perceived me Those were the plans that they had But I couldn't fit the part too dumb or too smart Ain't it funny how we all turned out I guess we are the people our parents warned us about You know I coulda worked the rigs when the money was big Or hopped a freighter south to Trinidad And when they tried to draft me I earned a college degree Buyin' time 'til things were not so bad But then I got a guitar found a job in a bar Playin' acid rock 'til I was numb Tell me where are the flashbacks they all warned us would come Chorus: We are the people, they couldn't figure out We are the people our parents warned us about Hey hey, Gardner McKay Take us on the Leaky Tiki with you Clear skies bound for Shanghai Sailing cross the ocean blue (do do do dooo) So blue (do do do dooo OOOH) (do do do dooo) (do do do dooo OOOH) Now I got quarters in my loafers tryin' to fight inflation When it only used to take a cent Sometimes I wish I was back in my crashpad days 'Fore I knew what cash flow meant Seems everybody's joggin' or heavy into health shit Don't tell me that I ought to get rolfed 'Cause I love cajun martinis and playin' afternoon golf Chorus: We are the people there isn't any doubt We are the people they still can't figure out We are the people who love to sing "Twist and Shout" SHAKE IT UP BABY We are the people our parents warned us about (do do do dooo) Id'n' any doubt (do do do dooo OOOH) Hey hey hey (do do do dooo) Gardner McKay (do do do dooo, Gardner McKay) (do do do dooo) I wanna sail away today (do do do dooo OOOH) Isn't any doubt (do do do dooo) They warned us about (do do do dooo OOOH) Hey hey hey (do do do dooo) C'mon now Gardner McKay (do do do dooo OOOH) I wanna sail away today - Notes: Background Vocals: Rita Coolidge, David Lasley, Arnold McCuller
