lyrics

I stole a peso
Then gave it to my friend Pedro
He gave his wife all kinds of besos
Said this song is done
Nah Pedro it’s just begun

I spent my francs
On a whole fleet of tanks
Some psycho and his panzer power
And ice cold beer
Man, watch me steer

I’ve earned a krone
Selling pastries I did not own
They asked me why I said,“I do not know”
And then they let me go
Damn, the Dutch are real nice

I saved a buck
By driving this beat up truck
She shifts hard but I don’t care
If people stare
Or if my hair’s too long

I earned a dong
Writin’ songs about the Vietcong
Co-written by weedman Tommy Chong
And LBJ
Yeah, what can I say?

If some folks got everything and then some
We best talk about a Universal Basic Income

I’ve seen my rupees
In the seen of a foreign movie
Being handled by Atma and Shakti
Ain’t they divine?
Yes, they do it all the time

I drank a pound
On my way to be healthy and round
Meat Pies and Speckled Hen
Plus a bottle of gin
Mate, I’d do it all again
