Kinja Rules

Written by：Jimmy Buffett

Pullman he just call

He ask how come ya don need no watah

Don't need water

Well you let the barge go by

He comin' to talk to you

Who is senator pullman anyway

Why do I have to signal the barge

Welcome to the Caribbean put on a shirt at least

The big enchilada is on his way

Mr norman paperman I presume

Joinin' us in kinja for de tourist boom

Norman paperman at your service

Meeting the kingpin I'm slightly nervous

Mr paperman I here to be your friend

But there's just certain rules here we can not bend

Paperman how about the water my cistern's flat

Why sure I come to take care of dat

But you gotta play by kinja rules

Forget about da tings you learned in school

We use a different box of tools

And you gotta play by kinja rules

Now dis alien ain't bonded for no gondolier

He's bonded for gardener dat why he here

De chief of immigration a power in dis town

Chief find out your hotel close down

Hereafter gardening's all he'll do I didn't know I swear to you

Doan' hoross yourself it's okay mister

De chief of immigration she's my sister

But you gotta play by kinja rules

Forget about that civics course you learned in school

We ain't city folks but we ain't fools

And you gotta play by kinja rules

Stop

How about my water

Hold you hosses I come to dat

Look at da chambermaid she mighty fat

And if dat alien have her baby here

Dat baby an American free and clear

De secretary of interior he gonna rave

And dat baby on your record

From da cradle to da grave

Your responsibility I doan mean maybe

Da bottom line sir dat your baby

You gotta play by kinja rules

Forget about da tings you learned in school

We use a simple box of tools

And you gotta play by kinja rules

I'll send her away but this club's bone dry

No problem lots of watah you can buy

Buy water senator

That's your advice

Chief of public works give you a special price

Chief of public works

Who's he your brother

Ha ha not bad she's lorna's mother

So you gotta play by kinja rules

Forget about da tings you learned in school

We use a different box of tools

And you gotta play by kinja rules

Senator I thank you

Now one thing's clear

I've got to hire a kinjan gondolier

Now dat a problem

What's the reason

No unemployment it's high season

Can't hire no kinjan to wear dis hat

And I can't use an alien

Don't ask dat

You've been a great help sir you've got my vote

Just tell me who's going to row that boat

You gotta play by kinja rules

Forget about da tings you learned in school

Just take it easy play it cool

But be sure to

Play by kinja rules

You gotta play by kinja rules

Forget about that civics course you learned in school

God watches out for drunks and fools

But forget the ten commandments here

Kinja rules

Kinja rules

Kinja rules

Kinja rules

Norman paperman I feel you soon adjust to kinja hahaha
