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
