[Verse 11]
[G]"I'd like to do a song
That was written about a good friend of mine down in Key West,
Florida,
Where I spend a little bit of time.
This particular friend of mine ran
a bar in Key West
For a long time before we got fed
up with all the other alternatives
To politicians and elected our
favorite bartender mayor.
Our mayor's name is Captain
Tony Tarascino,
Has a little place called Captain
Tony's Saloon
Where we wrote a little song
called Last Mango in Paris,
Not to be confused with that
movie by a similar title."
