the natives are getting restless in the tropical
heat
work in 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 voice
to the sound of the tourist 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-Loca
while in the heat
of the street
the native beats his drum
take the money 'cos it's just another
tourist
having 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 everwhere that I go I say
I want to
make it my home
I'm just another
another tourist checking out the slums
with
my plastic Visa drinking with my chums
MONEY
