And home by chartered flight And it seems we hit a fast ball And heading for the plate World Tour '88 World Tour '88 Well the royalties get spend up quick Cause we buy stuff for our friends And Uno wanted some Sennheiser mics So Joey Roth from A & R picks up our tab at the bar Our label treats us nice and says we're great World Tour '88 World Tour '88 It started happening two years ago When Tad auditioned for the new Monkees show
