Fifty Dollar Love Affair |
Oh the romance of these harbour towns |
Lights that shimmer on canals |
And in the bottom of your glass |
The air buzzing with foreign tongues |
And the occasional cries |
Of sailors, tramps and rock 'n' rollers. |
. |
(Hey babe you look so hot tonight |
Hey come over here I’ll treat you right) |
'Cause. |
. |
A man’s a man all right |
Just like any other man |
He’ll search the town tonight |
For a fifty dollar love affair |
And another taste of cheap delight |
Street food sizzling outside |
Washed down with the local poison |
These back alleys with their pinkish lights |
And the occasional cries |
Of smugglers, bums and credit card holders. |
. |
(Hey babe I feel so good tonight |
I got shore leave and I sure ain’t leavin' here till I prove that. |
. |
.) |
A man’s a man all right |
Just like any other man |
He’ll search the town tonight |
For a fifty dollar love affair |
