I brought my brother to Great Woods this year for his first Buffett concert. We had a fantastic day and he had a great time at the concert. After the concert walking back to the car he was singing Volcano. I had to ask him to stop and repeat the line and this is how it went “I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know where I’m a gonna go when the bars gonna close”. After I stopped laughing I told him the real words.

So my question is there have to be other Buffett lyricosis stories. I got such a laugh out of this, I would love to hear others.

There are some I have heard and some I had said when I first started to get into Buffett. I wish I remembered

BTW, I like your brother's lyrics though.

Riding down the road in Charleston with my best friend....and we may have been drinking rum...

and she is singing and yelling out the window..."Dance to the left, Dance to the Right....."

Yep..she really thought that is what he was saying....

my father who is an occasional buffett-listener always thinks that the line in Volcano: "My girl quickly say to me," is actually something like "my girl Quigley said to me" and he always asks me "who the hell is 'Quigley'??"

"they stopped at several Walmarts where they slurped a dozen each"

It's not a biggie, but I used to sing "Wasting away again in M'Ville."

Used to be a lot more, just can't remember.

My girlfriend had this one and now they're the only words we sing,
"blew out my flip-flop, stepped on a pop-tart!"

You can shake the hand of the mangled man, as he greats you at the border

I actually sing that exact pop-tart line to my kids because they love pop tarts so much - they think it's quite funny. Good to hear I'm not the only one who does this (but I've always known what the real words are).

How about this one I heard years ago: "I know I should be leaving this climate. I got a burst of kin Rummy. I gotta go where it's warm." I think they thought he was singing about a type of rum or some alcoholic drink. What do they think, that all PH's do is drink????

"All of the two-bits covered in oil"

I don't even know what a two-bit is, but it sounded right to me

Alright I admit it. Many years ago I also thought it was "Dance to the left..." I also sang the following lyrics (to what I always thought was an odd topic for a song) to Boat Drinks: "boys in the band ordered PORTRAITS

OMG!!! That's our line! This was always the last song our college bar played at Rutgers....so it really fit!
I wasn't at Great Woods this year, or I'd take the blame. I always sing it that way...LOUD

I had no idea what the real lyrics were until today. I at first thought is was Walmart too, but I would have never guessed raw bars.

I thought that was the line til Jimmy started saying mango with an accent when he sings. I first thought, why would you wanna shake hands with a guy whose mangled?

Apparently this is a popular one. When my friend sang it and asked me, who is this mangled man? it left an image that I see now everytime I hear the song! This guy looks kind of mangled

"Spend some time in the BAR MAYBE SUN" Took me years to figure out it was spend some time in the Barbados sun. LOL
