Strum
D-DU-UDU
On a steamer bound for Baltimore
I said, that's no fun, I've been there before
So I jumped ship in Singapore
With a cook from Mexico
Got a bowl of shark-fin soup
Ducked into a bar for a couple a scoops
Played some Texas-stud with a circus troop
And they cleaned me out of dough
They cleaned me out of dough
Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story
No harm, no foul, no crime
Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story
It'll get 'em every time
At dawn they all went back to bed
I went to Borneo instead
Had a hair-of-the dog for my shrunken head
With the Sultan of Brunei
Had a small bit of a seizure
On the way to Micronesia
Got a bad case of amnesia
And forgot to say goodbye
Forgot to say goodbye
Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story
No harm, no foul, no crime
Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story
It'll get 'em every time
Stopped in Tajikistan on the way to Iran
Took a break in Jamaica to work on my tan
Swam from Cayo Fragoso to Carriacou
I climbed Machu Pichu in darkest Peru
Had a pint with the pope and played pool with the queen
She's good with a stick, if you know what I mean
I once had a job riding bulls in Montana
I taught Jimi Hendrix the Star-Spangled Banner
I've been to Morocco, Malawi, Macau
I know how to fly, but I won't tell you how
I've been to Morocco, Malawi, Macau
I know how to fly, but I won't tell you how
Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story
No harm, no foul, no crime
Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story
It'll get 'em every time
Bought an ice cold Coca-Cola
From a Congolese high-rollah
Got deported from Angola
To a castle on the Rhine
Ask anyone that knew me
The Emir of Bahrain sued me
I was in a Blockbuster movie
And I didn't make a dime
2X CHORUS.
Greets,
Ben
