I've seen the city
I took the next flight
For Borneo

They say it's pretty
I like the tee shirts
In Borneo

Some wear Bob Marley
Others in Playboy
Or Duvalier

Make the last plane come
Let me rise through the cloudy above
With a book on Borneo


Strangers come and go
It's such a waste of time

Problems far behind
Another day
But even in springtime

It's a rich slice of life
So send me a letter
I'll reply with a broken spear

That dusky mulatto
In nylons and tattoos
Hot juice in !@%!e bottles

We dance in the sand
Well, they twirl and they tumble


Yes, they twirl and they tumble
Well, I'll twirl and I'll tumble
I've been to Leon's

He's got nine daughters
And a stereo
They say that Leon

Watches from the tree tops
In Borneo
When the road is mud

Everything stops with a thud
That's the way it goes down
yonder in Borneo

Far beneath his mansion
There's an open drain
Sending all the sewage down the hill

But when the general shows movies
No one hesitates
To sneak from the jungle

They laugh and they mumble
Enjoying the show
And that dusky mulatto


Hot juice in !@%!e bottles
In Blue Jeans and tattoos

Well, they twirl and they tumble
Yes, they twirl and they tumble
Well, I'll twirl and I'll tumble


I like the free world
They say it's pretty

This time of year
They tumble and twirl [x2]
I'll tumble and twirl


They twirl and they tumble [x2]


I like the free world [x2]

They say it's pretty


This time of year [x2]
