Lyrics
Ooh, clue, what a friend
Hear the seagulls cry
Watch that road take my baby far away
Where flamingos fly
Said he'd wait for me
If he don't, I'll die
Frozen miles to my baby to the place
Where flamingos fly
"You broke the law," they told him
Got to have passport to stay
You're shipping back to the Islands
On a freighter that's leaving today
Now my baby's gone
Hear the word he signed
Took my heart along with him to the place
Where flamingos fly
Where flamingos fly
Writer(s): El Thea, Harold Courlander, John Benson Brooks
