Wish You Were Her |
| Booked passage on an ocean liner |
| Went out on the sea |
| Sat at the captain’s table |
| She was seated next to me |
| She brushed my arm discretely |
| With the pearls around her neck |
| She looked like Rita Hayworth in her low cut black silk dress |
| We went up to her cabin |
| And laughed the whole night through |
| Over champagne and jet planes and hot cars broken into |
| Having a wonderful time |
| Wish you were her |
| I traveled to the south of France |
| Checked into a pink hotel |
| She was standing by the croupier |
| The dice were in her spell |
| I staked my whole fortune |
| On a hand of baccarat |
| She moved around behind the bank |
| And she brought me luck |
| We got into a fast car |
| And sped into the night |
| And watched the sun come up over St. Paul de Vence |
| Having a wonderful time |
| Wish you were her |
| I set sail for Egypt |
| The great pyramids |
| I crawled into the darkness |
| To where the pharaohs lived |
| Walked out into the evening |
| She was bathing in the Nile |
| She took me to her caravan |
| Where she danced around the fire |
| I’ve never been so happy to be so miserable |
| I’ve tried hard to forget you, but I can’t run fast enough |
| Having a wonderful time |
| Wish you were her |
| Having a wonderful time |
| Wish you were her |
| Wish you were her |
| I wish you were her |
