China Tour - Dave's True Story

Found my passport

Found a friend to take the cat

And a kid with too much money

Who wants to renovate my flat

'Cause I’m leaving

On a slow boat to China

I’m doing the China tour

There was this guy I met

He had a birthmark on his knee

But he had more respect for Nixon

Than he had for me

So come tomorrow

I’m on that slow boat to China

I’m doing the China cure

I’ll be walking

On that great wall mighty soon

Where the emperor and his armies

Stood their ground

And the river

Where the poet kissed the moon

And drowned

Once I get thre

It’s an even mony bet

That I’ll only brood the harder

On what I’m trying to forget

Still I’m leaving

On that slow boat to China

I’m doing the China tour

I’m taking that Chinese cure
