"Australia" version of "Off to See the Lizard"

Post by phjrsaunt »

Greetings!
Curious if anyone has yet transcribed the "revised" lyrics to "Off to See the Lizard"??? You know, the way Jimmy has done it in the first couple of shows so far, referring to his fall off the stage in Australia?? That one.
Thanks!
Your pal,
Auntie :D

Just downloaded the Charlotte, NC version from the Concert Trading section and got this...

I've got problems with my brain since I took that big stage dive
I've got an ass like Kim Kardashian but at least I'm still alive
Stitches in my elbow, stitches in my head
I healed up by the ocean not in some hospital bed

A whirlin twirlin (soundbites?) in my head

So I took off for Hawaii saw the acupuncture man
Ate a lot of grilled fish tacos, retirin' ain't the plan
On a beach down in Jamaica spot a bottle in the sand
When I opened it and read the note it just said FINLAND!
I think I'll take my shoes off and go walking
Down beside the Carribean Sea
I like the funny sounds of parrots squawking
I think I hear a hammock calling me

Excellent - all I caught was "retirin ain't the plan" and I was so happy to hear that I didn't think about the rest of it!

This version is cringeworthy. It sounded Jimmy had a hard time keeping up with the words as they rolled by on the teleprompter.
