Time To Go Home

by Jimmy Buffett

from the album Don’t Stop the Carnival

Lyrics

Henny –
Hey now mine host
Don’t be so melancholy
You’ve made the most
Out of Amy Ball’s folly
You went crazy, ran off with an actress and didn’t get rich
What can I say?
I still love you, you son of a bitch

Norman –
New York’s gray and cold
But somehow I miss that
And running the Gull Reef Club
Bordered on hand to hand combat

Henny –
You beat the odds, water
Gods now it’s time for “shalom”
Hey Mr. Paperman, I think it’s time to go home

Chorus (sung by the cast)
Time to go home Norman
Time to go home Norman
Hey Mistuh Papuh-mon
Time to go home
Chasin’ illusions can get quite confusin’
Hey Mr. Papuh-mon time to go home

Norman –
Henny I’m sorry I hurt you
That’s all I can say

Henny –
Who knows this whole episode
Just might end up on Broadway

Norman –
To hell with bureaucracy and island mystery

Henny –
Let’s clear the air dear but no more affairs here

Norman –
To hell with the hill crowd and life or death parties

Henny –
I know a guy who has contacts at Sardi’s

Duet –
Hey Mr. Paperman I think it’s time to go home

Chorus
Time to go home Norman
Time to go home Norman
Hey Mistuh Papuh-Mon time to go home
Chasin’ illusions can get quite confusin’
Hey Mr. Papuh-Mon time to go home

Time to go home Norman
Time to go home Norman
Hey Mistuh Papuh-Mon time to go home
Chasin’ illusions can get quite confusin’
Hey Mr. Paperman time to go home
Time to go home Norman
Time to go home Norman
Hey Mistuh Papuh-Mon time to go home
Chasin’ illusions can get quite confusin’
Hey Mr. Paperman Time to go home
