AFAIK, the lyrics are okay. "Miami" is an easy one, since that album
("Martin Mull") has the lyrics printed in it...(pulls out his
autographed copy of the album, pauses for the "oohs" and aahs" to
subside)

Miami
here's a tune that's kinda lazy
it's not smart, and it sure ain't crazy
and when you hear the melody
you might get ill
it's what you'd hear in elevators in Brazil
and inside your head
in Miami
spell Miami
and then ask me why? am I
M-I-A-M-I
getting tan or am I getting freckles
I hope it's tan 'cause I'm sure spending sheckels
to sit beside the ocean here, in my concrete box
and the only fish around are Nova Scotia lox
and they tell me it's swell
in Miami
spell Miami
and then ask me why? am I
M-I-A-M-I
feeling bad, o man I can't believe it
the fun I've had, and I'm gonna have to leave it
I'll go back to Tarrytown
and tell the Bagel Ranch
I found a great location for another branch
right inside a hotel
in Miami
spell Miami
and then ask me why? am I
M-I-A-M-I
in Heaven or am I in Miami
am I in Heaven or am I in Miami?
(c) 1970 WB music (ASCAP)
