MAI PEN RAI (NEVER MIND) 1:55
Music & lyrics: Peter Öjerskog
MAI PEN RAI MAI PEN RAI
NEVER MIND IN PATTAYA
Maybe you have been up all night
Realising the katoeys too tight
Maybe you love a special girl
Well Thai girls love all the world
CHORUS
Maybe lost count on how much you drink
You only have to shout: Check bin!
Maybe you want to ring that bell
Your economy becomes a hell
CHORUS
Maybe you have lot of money to spend
Walking round like an ATM
Maybe you think you’re skilled at pool
Playing bargirls make you look like a fool
CHORUS
CHORUS
INTRO: CHORUS tacet
VERSE:
E7 A7 D7 A7
E7 A7 D7 A7
CHORUS:
D7 A7 E7 A7 tacet
