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 him Gotta have a passport to stay Your shipping back to the islands 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
