I've seen the cityI took the next flightfor BorneoThey say it's prettyI like the tee shirtsin BorneoSome wear Bob MarleyOthers in Playboyor DuvalierMake the last plane comeLet me rise through the cloudy abovewith a book on BorneoStrangers come and goIt's such a waste of timeProblems far behindAnother dayBut even in springtimeIt's a rich slice of lifeSo send me a letterI'll reply with a postcardThat dusky mulattoIn nylons and tattoosHot juice in coke bottlesWe dance in the sandWell, they twirl and they tumbleYes, they twirl and they tumbleWell, I'll twirl and I'll tumbleI've been to Leon'sHe's got nine daughtersAnd a stereoThey say that LeonWatches from the tree topsin BorneoWhen the road is mudEverything stops with a thudThat's the way it goes down yonder in BorneoFar beneath his mansionThere's an open drainSending all the sewage down the hillBut when the general shows moviesNo one hesitatesTo sneak from the jungleThey laugh and they mumbleEnjoying the showAnd that dusky mulattoHot juice in coke bottlesIn Blue Jeans and tattoosWell, they twirl and they tumbleYes, they twirl and they tumbleWell, I'll twirl and I'll tumbleI like the free worldThey say it's prettyThis time of yearThey tumble and twirlThey tumble and twirlI'll tumble and twirlThey twirl and they tumbleThey twirl and they tumbleI like the free worldI like the free worldThey say it's prettyThis time of yearThis time of year
