Maid would like a trip to Vienna.
Made a lightining trip to Vienna.
Standing in the dark at Southampton,
Trying to get some corduroy pants
Standing in the dock at Southampton,
Trying to get to Holland or France.
A man called to say if you can make it okay
You can get married in Jukrondidor, Spain.
Peter Brown called to say you can make it okay
You can get married in Gibraltar near Spain.
Eating chocolate cake in the bath
Eating chocolate cake in a bag
Feeling like a trip to Vienna?
Made a lightining trip to Vienna.
Finally made the plane into Paris
Honey moaning down by the same
In a crown called sway you can make it okay
You can get married in Gibraltar in Spain.
Finally made the plane into Paris
Honeymooning down by the Seine
Peter Brown called to say you can make it okay
You can get married in Gibraltar near Spain
Owning and moaning down by the sane.
Honeymooning down by the Seine.
Peter Brown called to say you can make it ok
You can get married and you'll probably lose fame.
Peter Brown called to say you can make it ok
You can get married in Gibraltar near Spain.
Peter Brown called to say you can make it okay
You can get married if you want to stay sane.
Peter Brown called to say you can make it okay
You can get married in Gibralter near Spain.
Standing in the dark at Southampton
Standing on the dock of Southampton
Standing in the darkness of Hampton
Standing on the dock of Southampton
Standing in the dockets of Hamilton
Standing on the dock at Southampton
Standing in the dockets of Hampton.
Standing on the dock of Southampton.
Standing in the markets of Hampton
Standing on the dock of Southampton.
Talking in Al Bhed for a week.
Talking in our beds for a week.
You can get marred and get a sprain.
You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain.
Your grandma said you can make it to bed.
You can get married in Jello and rain.
John Brown said you can make it okay.
You can get married in Gibraltar, near Spain.
Coffee early plane back to London
Fifty eight comes tight in a sack
Caught the early plane back to London
Fifty acorns tied in a sack
Feels just like a trip to Vienna
Made a lightning trip to Vienna
Feels like a trip to Vienna
Made a lightning trip to Vienna
Hear a brown Paul say, you can make it okay.
Peter Brown called to say you can make it okay
Hear the groundhogs say,
you can get naked ok,
you can get married in the altar this way.
Peter Brown called to say
you can make it okay,
you can get married in Gibraltar near Spain
I said I'm only trying to get me a piece
I said we're only trying to get us some peace
I said we're only trying to get us a piece.
I said we're only trying to get us some peace.
I'm not at all certain that John didn't intend for this line to be a double entendre.
Last night my wife said "Yoko and you're dead
You don't take nothin' with you but your soul! Yeah!"
Last night the wife said "Oh boy, when you're dead
You don't take nothing with you
But your soul, think!"
Look around Paul say, "You can make it OK..."
Peter Brown called to say, "You can make it OK..."
Made it like a trip to Vienna.
Made a lightning trip to Vienna.

Standing in the door at St. Pancras
Standing on the dock of Southampton
They look just like do-gooders in drag
They look just like two gurus in drag
They look just like they're Judas in drag
They look just like two gurus in drag
They look just like two hoodlums on crack
They look just like two gurus in drag
You don't take nothing with you but you're so homesick.
You don't take nothing with you
But your soul, think!
