You said, "Do you know that little bar
With the Latin Rhythm King?"
You said, "Do you know that little bar
Where they make the great gin slings?"
You said, "We can walk it's not that far
And the night will give us wings"
And you were cute, real cute
You did these sexy things with your down-turned eyes
And you went deep, real deep
I said, "My God, the way I feel tonight..."
All you wanted was a ticket to the tropics
All you wanted was a ticket to the tropics
All you wanted was a ticket to a tropic zone
I should have known
You said, "Wouldn't it be very hot
If we did this in the sun?"
You said, "And my cashflow's kinda low
But you know it can be done"
You said, "I'll supply the loving touch, girl
If you provide the funds"
And you were smooth, too smooth
On the windy street, as you grabbed my hand,
You said, "Do it right,
Let me handle you in the warm, wet sand"
All you wanted was a ticket to the tropics
All you wanted was a ticket to the tropics
All you wanted was a ticket to a tropic zone
I should have known
You said,"London in the winter's a drag,
Don't be a slag
Let's go! "
And you were sweet, real sweet
You told the most appealing kind of lies
And you went deep, real deep
But you never really got inside...
All you wanted was a ticket to the tropics
All you wanted was a ticket to the tropics
All you wanted was a ticket to a tropic zone
I should have known
All you wanted was a ticket to the tropics
All you wanted was a ticket to the tropics
All you wanted was a ticket to a tropic zone
I should have known
