We Are the People Our Parents Warned Us About v1  Jimmy Buffett



[G]I was supposed to have been a Jesuit priest or a [C]Naval Academy
[G]grad
[C]That was the way that my par[G]ents perceived me
[A]Those were the plans that the[D]y had
Though I [C]couldn't fit the part too dum[G]b or too smart
c G D
Ain't it funny how we all turned out
I guess[C] we are the p[G]eople our parents war[D]ned us abo[G]ut

You know I could have 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 till things were not so bad
But when 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:
[D]We are the people they couldn't figure[G] out
[D]We are the people our parents warned us[G] about
[C]Hey [D]hey, Gar[G]dner McKay, take us on the l[C]eaky [G]Tiki wi[C]th y[G]ou
[C]Clear s[D]kies bou[G]nd for Shanghai, sai[D]lin' on the oc[C]ean blue[G]

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 before I knew what cash flow meant
Seems everybody's joggin' or heavy into health shit
Don't tell me that I ought to get rolffed
'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 now)
We are the people our parents warned us about
