[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
When I am a flyer, I'll fly down to Miami
Get a room in one of those big resort hotels
And nobody there will ever get to know me well
Nobody there will ever get to know me well

[Chorus]
I'll be just another yellow beach umbrella
On the shore of the southern seas
I will be a mystery to everyone
I won't take you along with me

[Verse 2]
When I am a driver, I'll drive to Pensacola
Sleep in the sand, whether the weather is sunshine or rain
And nobody there will ever get to know my name
Nobody there will ever get to know my name

[Chorus]
I'll be just another yellow beach umbrella
On the shore of the southern seas
I will be a mystery to everyone
I won't take you along with me
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
When I am a rider, I'll ride on to Tampico
No telephones, honey, your money'd
Be wasted on a telegram (Oh, telegram)
'Cause nobody there will ever find out who I am
Nobody there will ever find out who I am

[Chorus]
I'll be just another yellow beach umbrella
On the shore of the southern seas
I will be a mystery to everyone
I won't take you

[Chorus]
(Along, I won't take you along with me)
I'll be just another yellow beach umbrella
On the shore of the southern seas
I will be a mystery to everyone
I won't take you along

[Chorus/Outro]
I'll be just another yellow beach umbrella
On the shore of the southern seas
I will be a mystery (I will be a mystery)
To everyone (Everyone)
I won't take you along
I'll be just another yellow beach umbrella
On the shore of the southern seas...
