[Verse 1]
Won't you open up the border
To rivers running green? (green, green, green, green)
I have kilo loads of plastic
To trade for pumpkin seeds (seeds, seeds, seeds, seeds)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I know folks in Wichita as well as Santa Fe
All veterans of the trade, alright
[Chorus]
Open it up, open it up, open it
Living for the trade
Open it up, open it up, open it
Just living for the trade
Open it up, open it up, open it
Living for the trade
Open it up, open it up, open it
[Verse 2]
The Merry Wives of Windsor
I swapped for cans of Spam (Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam)
While sipping fine Darjeeling
With an English man (man, man, man, man)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I know folks in Liverpool as well as in Bombay
All veterans of the trade, alright
[Chorus]
Open it up, open it up, open it
Living for the trade
Open it up, open it up, open it
Just living for the trade
Open it up, open it up, open it
Living for the trade
Open it up, open it up, open it
[Bridge]
In a tent on the caravan road
You'll find those things you thought were gone
Bartered for jasmine and silk
And furs of frozen mastodons
Yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I know folks in Wichita as well as in Bombay
All veterans of the trade, open it up
[Chorus]
(Opening the border, we're opening the border)
Open it up, open it up, open it
Living for the trade
(Opening the border, we're opening)
Open it up, open it up, open it
We're living for the trade
(Opening the border, we're opening the border)
Open it up, open it up, open it
Living for the trade
(Opening the border, we're opening)
Open it up, open it up, open it
