Expatriot |
You can keep my bicycle, all my records and tapes |
Might seem sentimental or sound like sour grapes |
Sell my clothes and furniture or give 'em to the Goodwill store |
I’m goin' overseas I’m not comin' back anymore |
Maybe it’s a little romantic for a middle-age man like me |
I’m gonna be an expatriate just you wait and see |
Livin' in a Garret in Paris a House-Boat in Amsterdam |
Smokin' a beard, growin' a pipe, doin' the best I can |
Like Gauguin I’m a gonna go to Tahiti, wait and see |
Find a little brown skin girl to fall in love with me |
For years and years you’re gonna wonder just where I’ve gone |
Maybe when I’m eighty years old I’ll come back home |
There’ll be parades and ceremonies |
Retrospectives too |
And that brown skin girl will be so sad |
I came back to you |
You can keep my bicycle, all my records and tapes |
