International Adventure

There was a time when my money was tight
Had to work in the day couldn't sleep in the night
And the bills on the mat were a terrible fright
And the meaning of life came true

So, I answered an ad in the back of a mag
For a girl with a dream and a ready-packed bag
With a wink and a dare and a drag of my fag
I got into the cab with you

And now, at the elevenses of my life
Take a twist of luck so right
To a destination new
Oh the panoramic view, it takes my breath away

International Adventure, with you
Taking some time to find the clues
International Adventure, with me
Think of the sights that we might see

So I carried the bag for the love of a man
From the Niagara Falls to the Aswan Dam
Not so much as a look, you just looked at your book
And I felt like Passepartout

But then in Nice and Savoy, things began to change
How I noticed that look and I thought it was strange
With a wink and a dare and a toss of my hair
I got into the bath with you

And now, at the lunchtime of my fame
I go round the world again
The Seven Wonders all come true
And one of them is you and me aboard the yacht at San Tropez

International Adventure, with you
Taking some time to find the clues
International Adventure, with me
Think of the sights that we might see

Paris, Roma, New York City, Stockholm, Lisboa, Tokyo, Nairobi
Budapest, Bonn, San Marino, Oslo, Madrid or the Ciudad de México, Washington Wellington, Canberra, New Delhi, Dublin, Dubai, Tokyo, Nairobi, Athens, Berlin and Copenhagen, London, Reykjavik, Kingston and Jerusalem

International Adventure, with you
Taking some time to find the clues
International Adventure, with me
Think of the sights that we might see

International Adventure, with you
Taking some time to find the clues
International Adventure, with me
Think of the sights that we might see
