Island Swing

Pay 'em, pay 'em, pay 'em, pay 'em, pay pay pay... The ambassador's spying while the generals make plans But they hadn't prepared for the shifting sands Set up the tents on a moonless night When the sun came up there was nothing in sight Ba ba ba baa... Ba ba ba baa... If you don't know the culture, the language or the land What gives you the right to make such a stand The cameras look another way They will always find some other way While the local pay 'em, pay 'em, pay 'em, pay 'еm, pay 'em, pay pay pay The local pay 'em, pay'еm, pay 'em, pay 'em, pay 'em, pay pay pay Island swing that's the island sting They may know what's good for you Ba ba ba baa.... Ba ba ba baa.... By sending in the tourists you saved yourself a war The sharks got rich while the locals stay poor You can trade with sharks, they're of your own kind At the head of every country it's a bitch that you'll find Island swing, that's the island sting They may know what's good for you
