Where Flamingos Fly lyrics

Walk the waterfront

Hear the seagulls cry

Watch that boat take my baby far away

Where flamingos fly

Said he'd send for me

If you don't I'll die

Thousand miles to my baby to the place

Where flamingos fly

You broke the law, they told me

Gotta have a passport to stay

You're shipping back to the island

On a freighter that's leaving today

Now my baby's gone

Hear the water sigh

Took my heart along with him to the place

Where flamingos fly

Where flamingos fly
