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

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

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
