Island Swing

Pay 'em, pay 'em, pay 'em, pay 'em
Pay pay pay

The ambassador's spying while the
Generals make plans
But they hadn't prepared for
The shifting sands
Set up the tents on a moonless night
When the sun came up there
Was nothing in sight

Ba ba ba baa ba ba ba baa

If you don't know the culture
The language or the land
What gives you the right to make such a stand
The cameras look another way
They will always find some other way
While the local pay 'em, pay 'em
Pay 'em, pay 'еm, pay 'em, pay pay pay

The local pay 'em, pay'еm, pay
'em, pay 'em, pay 'em, pay pay pay

Island swing that's the island sting
They may know what's good for you

Ba ba ba baa ba ba ba baa

By sending in the tourists you
Saved yourself a war
The sharks got rich while
The locals stay poor
You can trade with sharks
They're of your own kind
At the head of every country it's
A bitch that you'll find

Island swing, that's the island sting
They may know what's good for you
