The Jazz Butcher - South America lyrics

Oh no, oh me Shame and sorrow in the library Venezuela, Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay Chile and El Salvador, Columbia and Ecuador Panama, Guyana too Nicaragua and Peru But Bolivia's the one we really rate 'Coz you can eat your dinner by the river plate Chorus: South America Muggers, spiders and parasites Crawl about the streets So late at night Eat it up now, don't be slow We go where those pygmies go In and out of the tropical basin Everything is quite amazing There are English men and there are Spanish priests Spiders, snakes and other beasts In Ecuador, Paraguay, Surinam and Uruguay Chorus A message! South America is getting me down it's a man's life in South America (x2) If the muggers don't get you then the spiders will (x2) South America is getting me down it's a man's life in South America
