The Lyrics
Down my way
where my job didn’t pay
And the food aint great in yan-ki-lan
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached her place I made a stop
Oh I’m glad to say I’ve come to stay
I’ll live down here for many a day
The riches come
My life is turning around
I got to love a pretty girl in A-sia town
Loads of money everywhere
And the mutual funds swing to and fro
I must declare my wealth is here
Though I’ve been from Maine to Ri-zin-sun
Oh I’m glad to say I’ve come to stay
I’ll live down here for many a day
The riches come
My life is turning around
I got to love a pretty girl in A-sia town
Down at the market you can hear
Brokers cry out while the bulls kill bears
Stocks and bonds and gilts are nice
Bull run is fine right through the year
Oh I’m glad to say I’ve come to stay
I’ll live down here for many a day
The riches come
My life is turning around
I got to love a pretty girl in A-si-a town
She went away
Down to Da-ya bay
And the index plunged through the X-change floor
We took a loss on those red chip stocks
And our bankers pulled a margin call
Oh we’re glad to say we’re on our way
Won’t be back for many a day
The market’s frowned
No sign of smilin around
We had to leave that pretty girl in A-sia town
Glad to say we’re on our way
Won’t be back for many a day
The market’s frowned
No sign of smilin around
We had to leave that pretty girl in A-sia town
Glad to say we’re on our way
Won’t be back for many a day
The market’s frowned
No sign of smilin around
We had to leave that pretty girl in A-sia town
Glad to say we’re on our way
Won’t be back for many a day
The market’s frowned
No sign of smilin around
We had to leave that pretty girl in A-sia town
