THAILAND 1:47 3/4 tempo
Music & lyrics: Peter Öjerskog
Sun is yellow and sky is blue
Beaches are white and water seethrough
Ricefields are green and so are palmtrees
Food is spicy and soft drinks are sweet
IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE IN PARADISE
THEN YOU HAVE COME TO THAILAND
Smiles are wide and hands make a wai
Sheds on poles and scrapers reach sky
Motorbikes plenty but helmets are few
Monkeys are small but elephants huge
CHORUS
All is for sale and open all night
Make a bargain if the price is right
Girls are pretty and men old farts
Most important is a good heart
CHORUS
CHOURS
Sun is gone and sky is grey
Then you are back in Europe
Capo on 2nd fret = original key of D
