Big Day

[Verse 1] Taking our time before it's through Passing our days in old shoes, sister Think I'm returning to Peru Wish that I never came here They can't pronounce my name here Everyone asks me, "Where's Peru?" [Chorus] In Peru, we've lengthened the day In Peru, we've strengthened the dollar There are mountains piercing our skies And the ocean at our shores I will save up all of my wages Even retail crumby cosmetics I will work my passage in stages As the winter slips away [Break] [Chorus] In Peru, we've lengthened the day In Peru, we've strengthened the dollar There are mountains piercing our skies And the ocean at our shores I will save up all of my wages Even retail crumby cosmetics I will work my passage in stages As the winter slips away [Verse 2] Miles of golden beaches Excellent wines and features Mister, take a week off in gay Peru Penitent monks to stare at Colonial Dons in old straw hats Everyone's there in gay Peru, ooh ooh Peru
