It was a matter of fact that when I paid all my tax I held my 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
I'm so glad 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
Goodbye to all of the rich men's daughters Goodbye to my debts now I'm way across 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
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 in a foreign land
Goodbye champagne and the caviar set I wanna slum and drink all of 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
