Very short Nein entry
Fly into Manila [aah]
The girl that I want to meet
Lives there [lives there]
She seems so sweet
But very shy [she's so shy]
Her friend introduced us [introduced us]
He'll be serving as chaperone
Oh no [oh no]
Never alone
Weekend in the city
She doesn't look quite as cute as she did in her photos
Thick stone walls topped with sharp glass and rusty nails [and spikes]
Awkward and quiet and guarded by guys with machine guns [bang bang bang]
Where is the smart* funny woman I wrote thru the mail [ohh]
Lord, [Oh Lord] what am I doing here? [What am I doing here?]
Lying in pools of sweat on rubber lined sheets [rubber lined sheets]
Is it the stress or the fried fish for lunch
Jeepney smoke, crap on the streets? [the streets]
Her friends, [her friends] they all seem nice enough [oo-oo]
They smile and try to speak English to me [a-ah]
But I've got the runs and the toilet don't flush
This weekend I'm sick in the city
*accidentally sang it as "sweet"
