Chris De Burgh - Tourist Attraction lyrics
Down in the jungle, you can hear a rumble
Way up the Himalayas, in a Mexican bodega
Something is going on
People are coming, running round the world
There's no way to avoid them, they're everywhere
You can see them on the streets of London town
They've found a tourist attraction
It's a bobby on the beat
Yes, a tourist attraction,
They're all looking at his feet
And the blue rinse ladies
Shooting cameras from the hip
Doing Europe in two days
"We've had a wonderful trip!"
And he turns to the Palace
You can almost hear him say
"Your Majesty why don't you tell them,
Please go away!"
Tourist attraction, tourist attraction, tourist attraction
Caribbean island, cool drink in my hand
Nearest thing to Paradise, the native girls are very nice
Something is going wrong
People are coming, running down the beach
Cameras at the ready, get out of reach
Time to grab my things, I'm heading for the hills
They've found a tourist attraction
Yes, my little hideaway
It's a tourist attraction
It will never be the same
There's a big bus driver
Taking money on the side
"Everybody stick together
And please follow the guide"
And way over yonder
They hear somebody yell
"I came here for the peace and quiet
Y'all go to hell!"
Tourist attraction, tourist attraction
tourist attraction, tourist attraction
