Shoestring
Oh no! It's Monday and look at the time
The bus doesn't come, the sun doesn't shine
And I don't believe I can do this year after year
So I've got a plan - I've got an idea
You can take all your money
Out of your savings account
Let's travel the world on a shoestring
Across the desert by bus
Just forget about everything
And let's think about us
We can see the world on a shoestring, baby
From the back of a truck
We can hitch-hike away from here
Just riding our luck
Just bring your passport
We're travelling light
We're going where it's always warm
So we'll be all right
I'll pack a sandwich in case we want a bite
And don't tell your family or friends
We're going tonight
It's an adventure
A chance we must take while we're young
Let's travel the world on a shoestring
On the roof of a train
Travel for hundreds of miles
We don't need to explain
We can see the world on a shoestring
We don't need a phone
Let's go a long way away
And never come home
I've got a rucksack
We'll need some comfortable shoes...
The bus doesn't come, the sun doesn't shine
And I don't believe I can do this year after year
So I've got a plan - I've got an idea
You can take all your money
Out of your savings account
Let's travel the world on a shoestring
Across the desert by bus
Just forget about everything
And let's think about us
We can see the world on a shoestring, baby
From the back of a truck
We can hitch-hike away from here
Just riding our luck
Just bring your passport
We're travelling light
We're going where it's always warm
So we'll be all right
I'll pack a sandwich in case we want a bite
And don't tell your family or friends
We're going tonight
It's an adventure
A chance we must take while we're young
Let's travel the world on a shoestring
On the roof of a train
Travel for hundreds of miles
We don't need to explain
We can see the world on a shoestring
We don't need a phone
Let's go a long way away
And never come home
I've got a rucksack
We'll need some comfortable shoes...
