Album Cover Conky Tonkin'

Conky Tonkin'

Jimmy Buffett

3

Bella was bored to death with South Beach

Not one celebrity spotted in days

She was tired of her mood

Lunchin' on vegan food

She was tired of just soakin' up rays then she saw him pull up to the stoplight

In an old ragtop that she couldn't name

He said “hop inside I'm headin' south take a ride

I'm just the next man that you're gonna blame”

U.S. 1, headin' down U.S. 1

Lenny said how 'bout lunch in Key Largo

There's a fish sandwich place down the road

Kinda out in the sticks

But we can be back by six

And never leave our area code

Well geography wasn't her strong point

She'd never been past the Dadeland mall

So they stopped on the way

Lenny was happy to pay

For her new thong and purple beach ball

CHORUS

They're goin' conky tonkin'

Cruisin' on a weekend buzz

Really conky tonkin'

Doin' it just because

BRIDGE

Havin' too much fun to turn back

They were explorers in a hot rod Ford

They counted seabirds and cars

Stopped at all the cool bars

Harmonically they struck a chord

Stop! What was that

Somewhere in the middle of the Seven Mile Bridge

He said bella do you want to see the rest

She said “I haven't a care

Lenny, just take me there”

And they drove on all the way to Key West

Well she'd never seen anything like it

In all of her twenty-six years

Bella was feeling the groove

Lenny was makin' his move

They were quite a pair of pioneers

CHORUS

They're goin' conky tonkin'

Cruisin' down U.S. 1

They'll be conky tonkin'

Tryin' to catch up with the sun

CHORUS

They'll be conky tonkin'

Their engine is about to explode

Goin' conky tonkin'

Hey they'll meet you at the end of the road
