In a Foreign Land

[Verse 1: Ray Davies]

It was a matter of fact that when I paid all my tax

I held the world in the palm of my hand

And all of my debts were causing me to defect

To a land of bananas and sand

So I ran, yes I ran, yes I ran to a foreign land

Here I am, here I am

Here I am in a foreign land

[Verse 2: Ray Davies]

I'm so gad we made it

I thought we'd never land

I grabbed all my cash

And I decided to dash far away

Far away, far away in a foreign land

Here I am, here I am, here I am in a foreign land

[Verse 3: Ray Davies]

Goodbye to all of the rich man's daughters

Goodbye to my debts now I'm 'way cross the water

Far away, far away in a foreign land

Here I am, here I am, here I am in a foreign land

La la la la la la

La la la la la la

[Verse 4: Ray Davies]

Please tell my mother and all my ex-lovers

That I've finally made the grade

Please tell my debtors and the money collectors

That all of my bills will be paid some day

I'm away, I'm away, far away in a foreign land

[Verse 5: Ray Davies]

Goodbye champagne and the caviar set

I wanna slum and drink all the rum I can get

I'm away, I'm away in a foreign land

Here I am, here I am, here I am in a foreign land

But I'm all out of my jack and I can't go back

I'm away, far away, far away in a foreign land

La la la la la la

La la la la la la
