The Tourist
Lyricist:Ray Davies
The natives are getting restless in the tropical heat Work is scarce and children play while the dogs fight in the street And in the hotels all the tourists dine on local fare While the waiters stand and stare
And in the street taxi cabs crawl around for vice To the sound of the tourists in the casino Rattling the dice Money, money
I'm just another tourist checking out the slums With my plastic Visa, drinking with my chums I dance and swing while Abba sing And I flash my Platinum to the sound of, ‽Livin' La Vida Loca†Yes, ‽Livin' La Vida Locaâ€
While in the heat of the street Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The native beats his drum Take the money 'cause it's just another tourist Havin' lots of fun
Oh, let's go to the Mardi Gras Oh, let's kiss the Blarney Stone Oh, let's hear the Wailing Wall Oh, the Empire State is so very tall
And the Taj Mahal really has a pretty dome And everywhere that I go, I say I want to make it my home
I'm just another tourist checking out the slums With my plastic Visa, drinking with my chums Money, money
