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 me
Gotta have a passport to stay
Your shipping back to the island
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

Where flamingos fly
