Ti Punch Café

Took my telescope to sea, bound for outer space
To a lonely island in a very special place
An atoll with a blue lagoon, a point break full of grace
Lava flows from long ago, bubble up this place

And thank the Lord for a watering hole open night and day
Where buccaneers can sip their rum in the old Ti Punch Cafe
Above the entrance curtain hangs a well-used frying pan
The owner's not the Aga Khan, it is the Jolly Mon!

I scoped the sky for passersby, Jolly Mon planned the trip
From the Pleiades, Desdemona came in her rocket ship
Eddie brought them burgers, Banky brought his band
And the Little Prince said, "Tout le monde" did the begune in the sand

Now the party's done, fun tickets gone, we sang and loved and hoped
And I woke up back in twenty, beneath my teloscope
Galaxies and nautilus shells look the same to me
So ask yourself this question, "How couldn't it be?"
