Captain Tony speaks about Jimmy Buffett, Key West, etc., at TBPHC Birthday Party Gary Roland(Landsharks Band) performing Last Mango In Paris for Captain Tony. Captain Harry Fink: Announcer The late, great, Captain Tony is a Key West Legend. This NJ native was the owner of the original Sloppy Joes, in Key West, Florida, and hung out with the likes of Ernest Hemingway, Jimmy Buffett, and too many others to mention. He even had a song written about him(Jimmy Buffett song, Last Mango In Paris, written by Marshall Chapman, Will Jennings, Michael Utley, and Jimmy Buffett). Captain Tonys Saloon is still open, in Key West, located near the corners of Duval and Greene Streets, and you can still go into the back and see the lyrics to this song written on the wall (as it describes in the song). THE LAST MANGO IN PARIS I went down to Captain Tonys To get out of the heat I heard a voice call out to me Son come have a seat I had to search my memory As I looked into those eyes Our lives change like the weather But a legend never dies He said I ate the last mango in Paris I took the last plane out of Saigon Took the first fast boat to China And Jimmy theres still so much to be done I had a third world girl in Buzios With a pistol in each hand She always kept me covered As wed move from land to land I had a damn good run on Wall Street With my high fashion model wife I woke up dry beneath the Africa sky Just me and my Swiss Army knife We shot the breeze for hours As the sun fell from the sky And like the sun he disappeared Before my very eyes It was somewhere past dark-thirty As I went back to the head I read upon the dingy walls The words the old man said
