Thanks anyway, Peace. After much ferreting about I finally found a site
with **all** the lyrics to everything Buffet ever wrote at:
http://www.cobo.org/glc/index.html
This in turn leads one to album listings and lyrics for each and every song
written and recorded. Apparently the one I'm looking for is from the 1988
CD "Hot Water" and it's the last cut - "That's What Living Is to Me".
The first verse is:
Jason Mason hears the sound
The whistle blows in Congo town
**And the mail boat's in, mail boat's in**
Brings him things from oh so far
Old magazines and Snicker bars
A simple man, a simple plan
The world's too big to understand
The e-mail notification .wav file can be found at:

Thank you to all who had a go at this.
