I was raised by a maid who came from Martinique   She wore geckos around her neck and bracelets on her feet   A superstitious woman from the land of sugar cane   She'd sing the sun to bed and dance out in the rain   Dance out, dance out, dance out in the rain      She'd excite us with a legend that the Africans told   About a red iguanna who turned lava into gold   We'd mount an expedition headin' up into the bay   Superstitious children playing pirate for the day      Off to see the lizard, off to see the lizard   Deja deja deja vu   Believe it and it will come true   Veja veja veja du   What works for me might work for you      Being rich and famous seems to have its ups and downs   But that's the price you pay for being troubadours and clowns   Godzilla's halitosis it be vaporizing cars   Elvis up in Michigan or maybe out on Mars   Dance out, dance out, dance out to the stars      But livin' in the briar patch ain't what it appears   Sooner or later you've got to face your fears   I heard it from the parrot verbalizing in the tree   I heard in the songline of the Aborigine      Off to see the lizard, off to see the lizard   Deja deja deja vu   Believe it and it will come true   Veja veja veja du   What works for me might work for you      Does it work for me? Yeah, yeah   Will it work for you? Yeah, yeah   If you believe it will, yeah, yeah   It will come true, yeah, yeah      I got problems with my brain underneath my curls   Problems with Loraine all the other girls   Love a wealthy woman and the pretty plane she flys   If you think this sounds confusing you should see it through my eyes   Dancin', dancin', dancin' through my eyes      I'm turnin' off the waterfall the tourists can go home   I feel it time to travel take time to write a poem   Time to seek some therapy I'm going walkabout   Answers are the easy part, questions raise the doubt      Off to see the lizard, off to see the lizard   Deja deja deja vu   Believe it and it will come true   Veja veja veja du   What works for me might work for you      Deja deja deja vu   Believe it and it will come true   Veja veja veja du   What works for me will work for you
