Perdido

Ervin Drake, Harry Lenk, Juan Tizol, Jessica Molaskey

[Intro]
Lost, real lost

[Verse 1]
I was having the time of my life
I hadn't a cat or a wife
There wasn't a single little thing
To ever stop me then from getting to swing
I was happy as a pup just chewing on a bone
And making music on my own
Yes, I was bold and boppin' as a boy could be
My melodies I'd chop 'em all around the man, and see
I was home and I was roamin', living
Just to get my kicks on 66 and it was right for me

[Bridge]
And then without noticing I dropped my map
And in itself a crazy mishap
I took a dusty road down to Mexico way
I got lost, and what more can I say?

[Verse 2]
I think I hear you, my friend
I have had a very remarkable excursion myself
And I'm not speaking in hyperbole
I stopped by a shady spot to have a drink
South of the border, what you'll order can be more than you think
Remember, at all times to be aware of indiscretion
The world can turn into the heart of a soul
Or down the rabbit hole
And may I emphasize that no two people are quite alike
But when you drink that deadly spike, pray for tomorrow to come

[Bridge]
I'm not someone who gives their secrets all away
That said, bar none
There will never be any stories quite like this one
Love finds you and your old life will be over in a moment
And you'll never be, ever be, you will never be the same
Yes, I took the craziest trip
And flipped for a Freudian slip
Now I am forever, ever, ever, ever lost

[Verse 3]
Perdido, I looked for my heart, it's perdido
I lost it way down in Torito
The day the fiesta started
Bolero
I swear that they play the Bolero
She kissed me the listing sombrero
And that`s when my heart departed

[Bridge]
High was the sun when I held her close
Low was the moon when she said, "Adios!"

[Verse 4]
Perdido, my heart ever since is perdido
I know I must go to Torito
To find what I lost — perdido

[Instrumental Break]

[Scatting]

[Bridge]
Went down to reach her, and I held her close
Come to the preacher, then said, "Adios."

[Verse 5]
Now, perdido
A condo in fair Escondido
Where we can be found incognito, enjoying a rare siesta
In summer, we tried to explore Sausalito
But diapers and babies can veto
A dance of a chance fiesta
Yes, I took the craziest trip
And flipped for a Freudian slip
Now I am forever, ever, ever, ever lost
