In A Foreign Land

Lyrics

It was a matter of fact that when I paid all my tax  
I held my world in the palm of my hand  
And all of my debts were causing me to defect  
To a land of bananas and sand  
So I ran, yes I ran, yes I ran to a foreign land  
Here I am, here I am  
Here I am in a foreign land  
  
I'm so glad we made it  
I thought we'd never land  
I grabbed all my cash  
And decided to dash far away  
Far away, far away to a foreign land  
Here I am, here I am, here I am in a foreign land  
  
Goodbye to all of the rich man's daughters  
Goodbye to my debts now I'm 'way cross the water  
Far away, far away in a foreign land  
Here I am, here I am here I am in a foreign land  
  
La la la la la la  
La la la la la la  
  
Please tell my mother and all my ex-lovers  
That I've finally made the grade  
  
Please tell my debtors and the money collectors  
That all of my bills will be paid some day  
I'm away, I'm away, far away in a foreign land  
  
Goodbye champagne and caviar set  
I want to slum and drink all the rum I can get  
I'm away, I'm away in a foreign land  
Here I am, here I am, here I am in a foreign land  
But I'm all out of my jack and I can't go back  
I'm away, far away, far away in a foreign land  
  
La la la la la la  
La la la la la la
