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 |
