Zippy Morocco Lyrics - Vic Chesnutt

Zippy morocco with a hat on his head 

Set sail for the seven seas 

When his mother took to dead 

Barely out of teenagedom 

When his mental map was unfurled 

The next thing that he knew 

He found himself halfway around the world 

With nobody to send exotic postcards to 

With nobody to send exotic postcards to

Zippy morocco as the admiral of fleet 

Might've been wet behind the ears 

But he certainly was fast on his feet 

Put down a mutiny at the edge of the earth 

He knew the value of the swirling sun 

He never overestimated his own worth 

It was the grief that whetted his appetite 

It was the grief that whetted his appetite 

And the waves they do not tell you welcome 

And the sand on the shore 

Does not spell out a hello 

Salutations they are below the surface 

Listen to zippy morocco, he says, 

"that is what i know" 

Zippy morocco as the perfect pragmatist 

Had a hold on the astronomical odds 

And he knew what to risk 

Photos 

Staked a million on an easterly wind 

Collected the holy city 

Now the horse traders come to him 

With their beads and cheese and horses 

With their beads and cheese and horses
