I heard it on, the wireless radio
Fmaj7 Am
From down in the boondocks way down in Key West

On that pirate radio station
Fmaj7 Am
Coming out of Luxembourg and Budapest

Hibiscus flowers, they grow everywhere here

Down by the Gulf of Mexico

Beyond the city, beyond the sifting sands

to innocence and purity

Key West, Key West is the enchanted land

On Newton Street, Bay view Park
C Am
Walking in the shadow after dark
Fmaj7 Am
Down under, way down in Key West
C Am
I played Gumbo Limbo spirituals
C Am
I know all the Hindu rituals
Fmaj7 Am
People tell me that I’m truly blessed

Down on the bottom, way down in Key West

I play both sides against the middle

Tryin’ to pick up that pirate radio signal
