Conch and Circumstance (Remastered 2023)
He woke up at the base of a palm tree
Wearing beads and his shorts and one shoe
Finds a conch fritter stuffed in his pocket
And a note: "C'était bon, merci beaucoup!"
"C'était bon, merci beaucoup???"
He didn't mean it, it just kind of happened
Just meant to stay for that one last dance
But then tequila appeared and his plans kind of veered
It's only conch and circumstance
A little conch and circumstance
She came to cool off her heels on Duval Street
Waste a few days at the end of the road
Now six years she's finessed and she's still in Key West
Another island episode
Easy to stay a place where anything goes
She didn't mean it, it just kind of happened
Just meant to stay for that one last dance
But then tequila appeared and her plans kind of veered
It's only conch and circumstance
A little conch and circumstance
It's home to writers and dreamers and poets
Some seduced by the names that precede
You can reinvent yourself or imperil your health
And build your own island legacy
Everything's here that you need to succeed
He showed up with his guitar in Miami
Had some time when his gig fell through
Some friends drove him south down US1
It was a fortunate rendezvous
While here he wrote a song or two
He didn't mean it, it just kind of happened
Just meant to stay for that one last dance
But then tequila appeared and his plans kind of veered
It's only conch and circumstance
A little conch and circumstance
We didn't mean it, it just kind of happened
Just meant to stay for that one last dance
But then tequila appeared and our plans kind of veered
It's only conch and circumstance
A little conch and circumstance
Wearing beads and his shorts and one shoe
Finds a conch fritter stuffed in his pocket
And a note: "C'était bon, merci beaucoup!"
"C'était bon, merci beaucoup???"
He didn't mean it, it just kind of happened
Just meant to stay for that one last dance
But then tequila appeared and his plans kind of veered
It's only conch and circumstance
A little conch and circumstance
She came to cool off her heels on Duval Street
Waste a few days at the end of the road
Now six years she's finessed and she's still in Key West
Another island episode
Easy to stay a place where anything goes
She didn't mean it, it just kind of happened
Just meant to stay for that one last dance
But then tequila appeared and her plans kind of veered
It's only conch and circumstance
A little conch and circumstance
It's home to writers and dreamers and poets
Some seduced by the names that precede
You can reinvent yourself or imperil your health
And build your own island legacy
Everything's here that you need to succeed
He showed up with his guitar in Miami
Had some time when his gig fell through
Some friends drove him south down US1
It was a fortunate rendezvous
While here he wrote a song or two
He didn't mean it, it just kind of happened
Just meant to stay for that one last dance
But then tequila appeared and his plans kind of veered
It's only conch and circumstance
A little conch and circumstance
We didn't mean it, it just kind of happened
Just meant to stay for that one last dance
But then tequila appeared and our plans kind of veered
It's only conch and circumstance
A little conch and circumstance
