Taking our time before its through
Passing our days in old shoes
Sister - think Im returning to peru
Wish that I never came here
They cant pronounce my name here
Everyone asks me "wheres peru? "
In peru weve lenghtened the day
In peru weve strenghtened the dollar
There are mountains piercing our skies
And the ocean at our shores
I will save up all of my wages
Even retail crumby cosmetics
I will work my passage in stages
As the winter slips away.
Miles of golden beaches
Excellent wines and features
Mister - take a week off in gay peru
Penitent monks to stare at
Colonial dons in old straw hats
Everyones there in old peru
Oo-poo-peru
