Natives Are Restless Songtext
von Jimmy Buffett

Alright, okay
I know I′m a little nervous about this being Las Vegas in the tiki bar
We're going to, uh, do this next little high-energy
Big-time tiki performance for you right now
Because I can tell we have some restless natives out in that crowd right now

It′s not a full moon, but you people sure act like
You're waiting for the next one out there, you know?
We have two days off after this, so the combination of all those elements
Well, I'm feeling about as restless as you are, here
So, let′s get this tiki bar fired up
The natives are restless tonight

Well, let me tell you ′bout my neighborhood, if you're visiting tonight
You better stay out of those shadows, stay in the bright, bright light
Don′t take fright, the natives are restless tonight

They're not particularly interested in me or you
They′re just looking for some meat they can put in their stew
Don't take fright, the natives are restless tonight


And they say
Hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hey, hey
Hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hey, hey
Hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hey, hey
Hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hey, hey

You better stay upstairs with the good book alone
′Cause when those drums start beatin', you better leave your sermons at home
Don't take fright, the natives are restless tonight

And they go
Hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hey, hey
Hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hey, hey
Hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hey, hey
Hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hey, hey

You might consider yourself lucky just to be alive, yes, you are
′Cause there′s a full moon tonight, it's just right for a conquering pride
Don′t take fright, the natives are restless tonight

And they go
Hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hey, hey
Hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hey, hey
Hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hey, hey
Hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hey, hey


Hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hey, hey
Hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hey
Hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hey, hey
Hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hoom-baba, hey, hey

Don't put me in the stew, don′t put me in the stew
The natives are restless here in Las Vegas tonight

Oh, just keep me out of that stew pot, that's all I think
Alright, anything could happen here in the tiki bar tonight
