Lyrics
Well, the pirates all come to St. Augustine
They don't always say what they really mean
They usually got something up their sleeves
Don't buy their gold
No, No
'Cause it's only make believe
Yea, it's only make believe
Well, my heart was full of psychic pain
So I went to see a psychic named Mary Jane
She explained it all to me
She read my tea leaves
Now I'm
Psychic pain
Oh, I'm psychic pain free
Yea, I'm psychic pain free
Well, Mary Jane invited me
To go pick some daisies
At the old huguenot cemetery
She started winking at me
She started smiling at me
It was a classic case
Of the birds
Oh the birds-and-the-bees
Yea, the birds-and-the-bees
Well, I quit my job at the alligator farm
Cause the alligators kept trying to chew off my arms
Then Mary Jane confessed to me
That she was actually
A Federal prisoner escapee
Yea, an escapee
Well, Mary Jane said we had to get away
So we headed south down A-1-A found a cheap motel to stay
And there she changed her name
From Mary Jane
To Mary Rain
Yea, Mary Rain
Well, this next part you might not believe
But Mary decided to run for a congressional seat
Which she won handedly
And now we
Live in
Washington, D. C.
Yea, Washington, D.C.
Well, Mary works on foreign policy
Votes on judicial nominees
Helps to tweak the economy
We're as happy as can be
And her secrets
Oh, her secrets
Well, they're safe with me
Yea, they're safe with me
Yea, the pirates all come to St. Augustine
They don't always say what they really mean
They usually got something up their sleeves
Don't buy their gold
No, no
But do buy their tea leaves
Yea, buy their tea leaves
Yea, buy their tea leaves
