Ti Punch Cafe

[Verse 1: Jimmy Buffett & Angélique Kidjo]

Took my telescope to sea, bound for outer space

To a lonely island in a very special place

An atoll with a blue lagoon, a point break full of grace

Lava flows from long ago, bubble up this place

[Chorus: Both]

[Verse 2: Jimmy Buffett & Angélique Kidjo]

And thank the Lord for a watering hole open night and day

Where buccaneers can sip their rum in the old Ti Punch Café

Above the entrance curtain hangs a well-used frying pan

The owner's not the Aga Khan, it is the Jolly Mon!

[Chorus: Both]

[Bridge: Angélique Kidjo]

Houéssivo lo dji houé, minbi nin djawa loo

Houéssivo lo dji houé, mnibi nin djawa loo

[Verse 3: Jimmy Buffett]

I scoped the sky for passersby, Jolly Mon planned the trip

From the Pleiades, Desdеmona came in her rocket ship

Eddiе brought them burgers, Banky brought his band

And the Little Prince said, "Tout le monde", did the beguine in the sand

[Chorus: Both]

[Verse 4: Jimmy Buffett & Angélique Kidjo]

Now the party's done, fun tickets gone, we sang and loved and hoped

Then I woke up back in twenty, beneath my telescope

Galaxies and nautilus shells look the same to me

So ask yourself this question - "How couldn't it be?"

[Chorus: Both]
