Headed on up to Lake Turkana,
Started feeling a bit like an iguana.
Lots of people with beads around their necks,
Everyone having all sorts of crazy sex.

Heading on over to Lake Malawi,
Locals they gave me this stuff they called the wowwie.
My head started spinning, sun so hot,
Don’t even know if I'm ever going or not.

Flew on over to the Gulf of Thailand,
I wish it really were my land.
Oceans, mountains, rivers, beaches and sun,
And everybody havin' way too much fun.

Now I'm going back where I belong
So I know that it won’t be long
I know one day I'll be back
Don’t you see it’s just a matter of fact
