The surf was easy on the day I came to stay
On thi s quiet island in the bay
I remember a line of women all in white
The la ughter and the steel bands at night
Now the Americans are gone exept for two
The em bassy's been hard to reach
There's been talk a nd lately a bit of action after dark
Behind the big casino on the beach
The rules are changed
It's not the same

It' s all new play ers in a whole new ball game
Last night I dreamed of an old lover dressed in gray
I've h ad this fever now since yesterday
Wake up darlin g they're knocking the Colonel's standing in the sun
With his stupi d face the glasses and the gun
I know what happens
I read the book
I believe I just got the goodbye look
I be lieve I just got the goodbye look
I believe I just g ot the go odbye look
I be lieve I just got the goodbye look
Won't you pour me a Cuban breeze Gretchen
The rules are changed
It's not the same
C＃aug F＃m Baug Em7 F＃monA GM7 F＃7
It' s all new play ers in a whole new ball game
I know a fellow with a motor launch for hire
A skin ny man with two-tone shoes
Cause tonight they're arranging a small reception just for me
Behi nd the big casino by the sea
I know what happens
I read the book
I believe I just got the goodbye look
I be lieve I just got the goodbye look
I believe I just g ot the go odbye look
