Volcano
By Jimmy Buffet
Now I don’t know.
I don’t know.
I don’t know where I’m gonna go
when the volcano blows.
Let me say now.
I don’t know.
I don’t know.
I don’t know where I’m gonna go when the
volcano blows.
Ground, she’s movin’ under me.
Tidal wave’s out on the sea.
Sulfur smoke up in the sky.
Pretty soon we learn to fly.
Let me hear you now.
I don’t know.
I don’t know.
I don’t know where I’m gonna go when the
volcano blows.
Now my girl quickly said to me
Man, you better watch your feet.
Lava come down soft and hot.
You better lava me now or love me not.
Let me say now
I don’t know.
I don’t know.
I don’t know where I’m gonna go
when the volcano blows.
No time to count what I’m worth.
‘Cause I just left the planet Earth.
Where I go, I hope there’s rum.
And not to worry, monsoon come.
Now, I don’t know.
I don’t know.
I don’t know where I’m gonna go when the
volcano blows.
One more now.
I don’t know.
I don’t know.
I don’t know where I’m gonna go when the
volcano blows.
But I don’t want to land in New York City.
I don’t want to land in Mexico.
I don’t want to land on no Three Mile Island.
I don’t want to see my skin a-glow.

earthquakes and violent volcano
eruptions are not “tidal” waves caused by
tides and the Moon’s influence.

correctly.
