South America by The Jazz Butcher Lyrics

Oh no, oh me
Shame and sorrow in the library

Venezuela, Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay
Chile and El Salvador, Columbia and Ecuador
Panama, Guyana too Nicaragua and Peru
But Bolivia's the one we really rate
'Coz you can eat your dinner by the river plate

Chorus:
South America
Muggers, spiders and parasites
Crawl about the streets
So late at night

Eat it up now, don't be slow
We go where those pygmies go
In and out of the tropical basin
Everything is quite amazing
There are English men and there are Spanish priests
Spiders, snakes and other beasts
In Ecuador, Paraguay, Surinam and Uruguay
Chorus

A message!

South America is getting me down it's a man's life in South America (x2)
If the muggers don't get you then the spiders will (x2)
South America is getting me down it's a man's life in South America
