Bb                        Cmaj7
Let's see if I've got his number
Bb6               F7                       Bb6
Here somewhere, yeah. No, he works out of a payphone... oh yeah.
B6                Bb
I've got it here. Okay. Today's international investor,
Bb                                        F7
Whatever that is. Yeah, everybody's got a cousin in Miami. Here
Bb
We go."

[Verse]
F7
It was was ninety miles to freedom
F7
But they took the risk
Bb
Though ocean was all motion
Bb
And the wind was brisk
Bb         F7
The deadly gunboats never saw them
F7
In the pale moonlight
F7   Bb
They were off to Cayo Hueso
Bb
By the dawn's early light
F7
The gringo in the garden called the custom's man
B6
They answered all his questions
B6
Were allowed to land
F7
The ladies shared a hairbrush
F7
And their husbands had a Coke
Bbmaj7
And they were taken up to Krome
Bbmaj7             Bb
To meet with their kin folk

[Chorus]
F                           Bb6
Everybody's got a cousin in Miami
Bb6                          F
(Everybody's got a cousin in Miami)
F                              Bbmaj7  Bb6
Everybody understands the impromptu
F
Dancing in the heat to the beat
F                        B6
That turns your clothing clammy (ooooohhhhh)
F                         F9         Bb6
Everybody needs to have a dream come true

[Verse]
F7
In a third world jungle
F7
Not so far away
F7      Bbmaj7
Lives a natural drummer
Bbmaj7
With a dream to play
Bbmaj7   F7
He's the brother of the lizard
F7
And the flying fish
Bb
But he's enchanted by the pictures
Bb
From the satellite dish
Bb     F7
So his mama packs his bag
F7
Knots his red neck tie
Bb
Send him north to her relations
Bb
With a kiss goodbye
F7
He's bewildered by the plane ride
F7
And the immigration line
Bb
Until he sees his Christian name
Bb
Upon a cardboard sign

[Verse]
F                           Bb6
Everybody's got a cousin in Miami
Bb6                          F
(Everybody's got a cousin in Miami)
F                    Bb
Everybody is an aborigine
F
Dancing in the heat to the beat
F                        B6
That turns your clothing clammy (ooooohhhhh)
F                           Bb6
Everybody want to win that lottery


[Instrumental]

Bb                           F7
"And the winning numbers are.

[Bridge]
F                                           Bb
It's hard to believe this city started as a trading post
Eb                   F              Bb     Am Gm C
Home to the Seminole pirate and pioneer
C                                  C7     F
Between the river of grass and the old mosquito coast
C7                  Am                        F
Before the railroad claimed the southernmost frontier

[Verse]
F7
I am umbilically connected to the temperate zone
G                      Bb
It brought me life, it brought me love
Bb              F
I never have outgrown
F                                                  Bb
Brought me one too many nights along that Biscayne shore
Bb                                      F7
And one too many mornings in the Grove drugstore

[Verse]
F7
And one way or the other we're all refugees
Bb
Livin' out this easy life below the banyan trees
F                 F7
Smoothing off the rougher edges of the culture clash
F7                             Bb
We've got a style we've got a look
Bb                          C9
We've got that old panache

[Chorus]
F                           Bb

Dancing in the heat to the beat
F                        B6
That turns your clothing clammy (ooooohhhhh)
F                            Bb6
Everybody needs to have a dream or two

Bb           F7     Bb
"I do, I do. Let's take it down boys.

Down south to those little latitudes.

Bb                       F
It turns your clothing clammy (ooooohhhhh)
F                                       Bb
Under the stars in the bars down by the sea
Bb
Oh me now

Dancing in the heat to the beat

It turns your clothing clammy (ooooohhhhh)
F                                    Bb
Everybody needs to have a dream come true

[Bridge]

Bb     Gm    F7
"I do. I do. I had this dream the other day. I was down on the
Bb       Eb                                F7
Equator. I didn't know whether I was up or down. I couldn't
F7                          Am7             Bb
Tell the difference. It was hot and we were rockin'. And the
Bb    Bbmaj7       F7       Bbmaj7      F7                         Bb
Coral Reefers gathered around me and they said: We want a raise
Bb                      Eb                F7          Gm
Or we're going to quit. And that's when I woke up. So play
Bb
Boys, play."
