Verse
oh the romance of these harbour towns
lights that shimmer on canals
and in the bottom of your glass
the air buzzing with foreign tongues
and the occasional cries of sailors, tramps and rock 'n' rollers
Bridge
hey babe you look so hot tonight
hey come over here i'll treat you right 'cause
a man's a man all right just like any other man
he'll search the town tonight for a fifty dollar love affair
Instrumental
Verse
and another taste of cheap delight
street food sizzling outside
washed down with the local poison
these back alleys with their pinkish lights
and the occasional cries of smugglers, bums and credit card holders
Bridge
hey babe i feel so good tonight
i got shore leave and i sure ain't leavin' here till i prove that
a man's a man all right just like any other man
he'll search the town tonight for a fifty dollar love affair
