Post by j***@aol.comWhat is the song about Tom Collins and Margarita? What album is it on?
Can I get the lyrics on line? Or did I just imagine the whole thing? I
hope not since I am going to Margarita Island in Venezuela. I hope that
is where the name of the drink comes from. I may meet some girl singers
there, teach them the song , and have them perform it for me and a few
others:)
Found a song by Patrick El-Hag. There's no Lou Reed song I know of with the
words Tom Collins.
Margarita's on the beach
El-Hag/Häggström/El-Hag
So you say, you will stay
Through the night and day
On this, some things depend
I will try - not to hide
All my secrets deep inside
I want you to meet my friends
Margarita's on the beach
Bloody Mary's there too
When Tom Collins' out of reach
Johnnie Walker will do
So you say, you will stay
Through the night and day
On this, some things - depend
I will try - not to hide
All my secrets deep inside
You'll have to accept my friends
Margarita' on the beach...
" - So tell me; who is Johnnie?
- What do you mean, who is Johnnie? You've just heard him, he is in the
band.
- You mean that famous jazz musician, Johnnie Walker... the bass player?
- That's the one.
- Is he your friend?
- One of my best friends.
- And where is Tom?
- He's always out of reach. We think he might have a serious drinking
problem.
- And what about the girls?
- Oh, you mean Mary and Margarita? They are at the bar.
- I thought you said they were on the beach.
- The BEACH BAR!
- Aaah."
Margarita's on the beach
(She's georgious. - She is.)
Bloody Mary's there too
(She look's dangerous! - She is.)
When Tom Collins' out of reach
(He look's drunk. - Mmm.)
Johnnie Walker will do...
