Saigon town
Vietnam
Lovely city
Take a round
Cyclo drivers
And motorbikes
Please be careful
When you ride

Zippo’ sellers
Ho chi min
Fat white tourists
Down in the streets
Yellow monks
They walk in file
Meditation, inner life

CHORUS :
So if you walk those crowded streets at night
Be damn sure, to be alright
’Cause they move like angels in the night
They steal your heart away
While the moon is shinin’ bright

Dark haired ladies
In long gloves
Riding backseats
On the river shores

Seafood noodles
And sugarcane
Little camsa
Ease the pain

RIP. CHORUS

Distant echoes
Of the war
Lie there scattered
Sadly in a jar

Can somebody
Somebody tell me please
What they fight for
Let me hear


Can somebody
Somebody tells me please
What they’ve died for
Let me hear
