Madagascar by The Moviegoers Lyrics

She said she'd only be gone for a week
But every hour’s been longer than that
Where the hell is Mozambique
I can't find it on this map

Lying in my bed for so long
I guess I know every crack on the ceiling
She had to get while the getting was good
And she found Africa appealing

Where she's going I don’t ask her
But I hope it's a nice place to live
Think I'll go to Madagascar
But I'm not really sure where it is

I guess she never could get over
My acute case of Beatlemania
She packed her bags, said I'm leaving tonight
I'm off to Mauretania

Now one night when I was really drunk
I said where ever you go, I'll follow ya
Now how was I to know she was up on
All of the shots for Somolia
Where she's going I don’t ask her
But I hope it’s a nice place to live
Think I'll go to Madagascar
But I’m not really sure where it is

She said I'm going, I'm going
Sooner man than later
She said I'm going, I’m going
Somewhere South of the Equator

She said I'm going, I'm going
Sooner man the better
And it's true, it's true I know
'Cause I just her letter

What it was and what it wasn't
It was somewhere in between
Six of one and one half-dozen
She's off to New Orleans

Off to New Orleans
And the swamps are so green
Off to New Orleans I said
The postmark read New Orleans

New Orleans, that Land of Kings
Jambalaya and Collard Greens
She's off to New Orleans
