Different Down Here Obeah woman killing roosters on the navy pier Where the high school gambler found a bail of grass 1000 pounds The back of town was floatin’ for a year In Bahama Village a funeral parade Just as funky as you please Mama on her knees When the Miami boys came down Left their switchblades bleeding on the ground Cover your eyes if you aim to keep your conscience clear We do some things a little different down here The city fathers and Columbianos sending postcards every day Tell your Con Leche man to cup it double Find no trouble, fifty dollars Muchas Gracias, on your way Up on Rusty Island a party in the glades Shrimp boats rotten, working man forgotten Since that hurricane summer it’s a grand hobo ball! Good fun for all Turn back North if the sound don’t fall pretty on your ear We do some things a little different down here Down here we go home early Cuz we always start so late Down here we don’t do nothing But we wait, and we wait, and we wait… Obeah woman doing six months in the city pen With the Taxman and the Mayor and the coffee shop slinger But they all will live to see the sun again Up there on the mainland, time is flying by Just as quickly as you please, and everyone agrees You should put your car in gear Throw out all your fear Come down and spend a year Ain’t it clear? We do some things a little different We do some things a little different Yeah, we do some things a little different, down here.
