We Are The People Our Parents Warned Us About 
By: Jimmy Buffett 
1983 
For Ed Polock 
I was supposed to have been a Jesuit priest or a Naval Academy grad 
That was the way that my parents perceived me 
Those were the plans that they had 
But I couldn't fit the part too dumb or too smart 
Ain't it funny how we all turned out 
I guess we are the people our parents warned us about 

You know I coulda worked the rigs when the money was big 
Or hopped a freighter south to Trinidad 
And when they tried to draft me I earned a college degree 
Buyin' time 'til things were not so bad 
But then I got a guitar found a job in a bar 
Playin' acid rock 'til I was numb 
Tell me where are the flashbacks they all warned us would come 

Chorus: 
We are the people, they couldn't figure out 
We are the people our parents warned us about 

Hey hey, Gardner McKay 
Take us on the Leaky Tiki with you 
Clear skies bound for Shanghai 
Sailing cross the ocean blue (do do do dooo) 
So blue (do do do dooo OOOH) 
(do do do dooo) 
(do do do dooo OOOH) 

Now I got quarters in my loafers tryin' to fight inflation 
When it only used to take a cent 
Sometimes I wish I was back in my crashpad days 
'Fore I knew what cash flow meant 

Seems everybody's joggin' or heavy into health shit 
Don't tell me that I ought to get rolfed 
'Cause I love cajun martinis and playin' afternoon golf 

Chorus: 
We are the people there isn't any doubt 
We are the people they still can't figure out 
We are the people who love to sing "Twist and Shout" 
SHAKE IT UP BABY 

We are the people our parents warned us about (do do do dooo) 
Id'n' any doubt (do do do dooo OOOH) 
Hey hey hey (do do do dooo) 
Gardner McKay (do do do dooo, Gardner McKay) 
(do do do dooo) 
I wanna sail away today (do do do dooo OOOH) 
Isn't any doubt (do do do dooo) 
They warned us about (do do do dooo OOOH) 
Hey hey hey (do do do dooo) 
C'mon now Gardner McKay (do do do dooo OOOH) 
I wanna sail away today
