lyrics

FOREIGN GIRLS

To not speak the language
Can be quite enchanting
To seek understanding
Can lead to a charming exchange

One calls it freedom
The other calls it heaven
Both girls know
That playing it well
It can be made to do their work for them

CHORUS
Cause these are foreign girls
And they know they hod certain advantages
These are foreign girls
They make the best of all of their chances

The days filled with laughing
Young men advancing
They don't like to think about
When its time that they have to go home

The sun sets in slices
The night time invites them
To see what they've found before
Every reason they left their island

CHORUS...

Susan and Betty are off on their holiday
This year they're sampling the warmth of Spain
Judy would have come but she stayed home again
To look after her new boy friend

They both got a passport when they were seventeen
Haven't sat down since they opened them.
Their mothers worry but it doesn't frighten them
How you say … to venture the great unknown

They hoping to find themselves both a matador
Maybe they’ll find them somewhere down Benidorm
If they don't tough luck cause they're all booked up
They can try again next year
