Lyrics

Take a boat, take a plane
Go to London, go to Spain
Take a train from Amsterdam to Monaco
Take a loved one if you think
They enjoy things that stink
'Cause everything is different over there
When you're in Belgium, you can eat
A lot of mayonnaise with your frites
And no one will say, "Hey, that's too much mayonnaise"
Enjoy a German sausage hall, eat an Italian meatball
But I hope you don't want a Twinkie
Because they don't have Hostess Twinkies over there
Over there, you'll never feel at ease
'Cause there's not much soap and there's too much cheese
And everyone wears clogs and rides on trains
Over there, they'll make you regret that you ever
Saved their asses in World War II
Don't make me go over there
'Cause I enjoy my freedom here
I enjoy light-colored beer
I like to take showers
And I like to brush my teeth, every day
Twice a day
They say that there's a place in France
Where the naked ladies dance
You can find it if you ask around
And there's a hole there in the wall
Where the men can see it all
But the men don't care 'cause they chew their underwear
The underwear they chew costs a dollar ninety-two
The men go around
With their ding dongs hanging down
Over there, you'll never feel at ease
'Cause there's not much soap and there's too much cheese
And everyone wears clogs and rides on trains
Over there, they'll make you regret that you ever
Saved their asses in World War II
Don't make me go over there
No, don't make me go over there
Don't make me go over there
