 The surf was easy  on the day  I came to stay
   On this quiet island  in the bay
  -5
 I remember a line of women all in white
 The laughter  and the steel  bands at night
 All the A mericans  are gone  except for two
   The emba ssy's  been hard to reach
  -5
 There's been talk and lately a bit of action after dark
 Behind  the big  ca sino on  the beach
 The rules are changed
 It's not the same
 It's all new players in  a whole new ball game
 Last night I dreamed  of an old lover  dressed in gray
   I've had  this fever  now since yesterday
  -5
 Wake up darling they're knocking the Colonel's standing in the sun
 With his stupid face  the glasses and  the gun
 I know what happens
 I read the book
-5
 I believe I just got the goodbye look
  ( I believe I just  got the good bye look )
+9+5 +9+5
  I believe I just got the good bye—ye
  ( I believe I  just got the goodbye  look )
 Won't you pour  me a Cuban breeze  Gretchen

 The rules are changed
 It's not the same
 It's all new players in  a whole new ball game
 I know a fellow  with a motor  launch for hire
   A skinny man  with two-one shoes
  -5
 Cause tonight they're arranging a small reception just for me
 Be hind  the big casino by  the sea
 I know what happens
 I read the book

 I believe I just got the goodbye look
