"Volcano" By Jimmy Buffet

(In 2/4 time. 16 bar Intro)

(Chorus)

Oh, I don't know, I don't know

I don't know where I'm a gonna go...

When the volcano blow!

Oh, I don't know, I don't know

I don't know where I'm a gonna go...

When the volcano blow!

Ground she's moving' under me

Tidal waves out on the sea

Sulphur smoke up in the sky

Pretty soon we learn to fly

Chorus

That man he quickly say to me

Man you better watch your feet

Lava come down soft and hot

You better follow me now... 

Or follow me not

Chorus

No time to count up what I'm worth

'Cause I just left the planet earth

Where I go I hope there's sun

Not to worry man soon come

Chorus

Don't want to land in New York city

Don't want to land in Mandalay

Don't want to land in no San Diego

Don't want to land in no Buzzard's Bay

Don't want to land in Commanche Sky Park

Or in Nashville, Tennessee

Don't want to land in no San Juan airport

Or the Yukon Territory

Chorus
