Calliandra Shade

I sit in judgment down the market square
 I have my favorite table and I have my chair
 Natives are friendly and the sun flies high
 All kinds of crazy waiters, they go drifting by
 Hours last forever in the Calliandra shade
 Conversation going nowhere and yet, everywhere
 Kick off those sad shoes and let the bare toes tingle
 Slip off that shoulder strapless and the thick black hair
 Come, sit with me and take decaf designer coffee
 Come, laugh and listen as the ragamuffin children play
 Lame dog and a black cat, now, they shuffle in the shadows
 You got cappuccino lip on a short skirt day
 Electric afternoon and shrill cellphones are mating
 Lame dog is dreaming, dreaming of a better life
 Where bed is fluffy pillows, table scraps are fillet mignon
 Flicked indiscreetly by the lazy waiter's knife
 Come, sit with me and take decaf designer coffee
 Come, laugh and listen as the ragamuffin children play
 Lame dog and a black cat, now, they shuffle in the shadows
 You got cappuccino lip on a short skirt day
 Hours last forever in the Calliandra shade
 Conversation going nowhere and yet, everywhere
 Kick off those sad shoes and let the bare toes tingle
 Slip off the shoulder strapless and the thick black hair
 Come, sit with me and take decaf designer coffee
 Come, laugh and listen as the ragamuffin children play
 Lame dog and a black cat, now, they shuffle in the shadows
 You got cappuccino lip on a short skirt day
 Come, sit with me and take decaf designer coffee
 Come, laugh and listen as the ragamuffin children play
 Lame dog and a black cat, now, they shuffle in the shadows
 You got cappuccino lip on a short skirt day
